Mango Tango

This is a recipe for a frozen drink.  Not an original, but what is these days...

Ingredients

Mango Nectar

Meyers Dark Rum

Coconut Rum Cruzan is really good!

Triple sec

Pineapple Juice

Lime Juice, Just a splash!

The Procedure

Begin by freezing the Mango nectar in an Ice tray.  Fill the whole thing.  Do this instead of using ice cubes.  Ice cubes just add water to your frozen drink which will just eventually water everything down.  Do this a couple of hours before you are ready to make your Mango Tango's!

Now here is where you want to just have fun, its a mixed drink so begin mixing!  

In the blender add your frozen mango cubes...  as many as you want!

Add the dark rum first, then coconut rum and maybe a shot or two of your triple sec.  Then the pineapple juice.  Top that off with your splash of lime and blend!  There is no exact science to this.  I would think that the mango cubes would be the hardest part.  And honestly the fact that I have to wait for them to freeze is a little irritating to me!  Why cant they just sell frozen mango cubes!  I want to drink it right now!  But it will be worth it with a little pre-planning.  

This drink will be a hit with all of your guests, or just for yourself sitting at home relaxing by the pool or on the couch!  Its nice to feel a little summery when the temp drops in these months!  Florida is always tropical so I have no problem drinking this anytime of the year!  

To serve, grab your favorite margarita glass or martini glass or just a big mason jar if thats what you want and dip the rim in a shallow dish with water to coat the rim and then dip the rim in some sugar!  Some stores have specialty sugars made up with different colors, its a nice touch if you are entertaining!  Garnish with a pineapple slice or a fancy little umbrella!!  

Enjoy!   

Bananas and Meyers Dark Rum go great together too!  Be creative!
