Mango Daiquiri

Greg and Marnie (brother and sister in law) have been freezing mangos in preparation for our visit to make this drink.
Greg made a half recipe and the blender was filled to the brim.

I'm convinced that this is almost a 'health drink' with the amount of fruit in it.

Sadly the blender died as part of this mission...however the verdict was...."Mmmmmmmm!"

Mango Daiquiri Recipe
The recipe comes from Taste.com.au

Makes

12

Ingredients

  • 6 mangoes, peeled, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups white rum
  • 1 1/2 cups vodka
  • 6 lemons, juiced
  • 1 cup sugar syrup (see note)
  • 6 cups crushed ice
  • 1 cup Cointreau - we added this as an after thought after looking at other recipes

Method

  1. Combine half the mango, half the rum, half the vodka, 3/4 cup lemon juice and 1/2 cup sugar syrup in a blender. Blend until smooth. Add half the crushed ice. Blend until just combined. Pour into 6 cocktail glasses and serve immediately.
  2. Repeat using remaining ingredients.

Notes

  • Note: For the sugar syrup, combine 1 1/2 cups caster sugar and 1 1/2 cups water in a saucepan over medium heat. Heat, stirring, for 5 minutes or until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to high. Bring to the boil. Pour into a jug. Refrigerate until cold. Makes 2 cups.
