Mango Daiquiris

May 11, 2011 7 Comments

I think it’s pretty obvious by now that I’m a girly drink kind of gal. I mean, I could try to roll with the boys and throw back beers and booze on the rocks, but why suffer? I like sugar. I like fruit. I don’t like the taste of alcohol. It would just be silly to pretend otherwise. Sure, I suppose if I could acquire a taste for beer my bar tabs would be a lot lower, but…not worth it. I need to have fruity, blended drinks in my life, damnit.

Daiquiris are pretty high on my list of favorite blended drinks, not only because they are sweet and fruity and delicious, but also because I associate them with summer, hammocks, sandy beaches, and tropical vacations. Seriously, there is nothing more relaxing than an icy cold daiquiri, especially after a long and productive day at work. And no fruit is more delicious this time of year than a juicy mango. What happens when you combine the two? Instant happiness, and the perfect cure for the mid-week blues.

Mango Daiquiris

Ingredients:
– 2 fresh mangos, chopped into pieces
– 2 trays’ worth of ice
– 1/4 cup lime juice
– 4 oz rum (I used Parrot Bay Mango Rum for even more mango flavor)
– 1 tbsp sugar

Steps:
(1) Combine all ingredients in blender. Blend until smooth and frosty.
(2) Serve immediately, preferably with a heap of chips and guacamole.

    I would think Mango Rum would have more sugar in it. Can’t you use vodka?

      I think daiquiris are usually made with rum, but you can definitely use vodka or whatever alcohol you want! 🙂

    Instead of using the sugar just use about 1 small teaspoon of Natvia or natural plant-based sweetener – then it’s even healthier. Well, as healthy as an alcoholic drink can be anyway.
