Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 tbsp mango puree fresh or sweetened jarred
- 1 lime juiced
- 10-12 fresh mint leaves
- 4 oz light rum
- ⅔ oz simple syrup adjust to taste
- ¼ cup soda water to top
- 1 cup ice cubes for serving
Instructions
Cooking
- Make the puree. Blend the chunks of 1 ripe mango until completely smooth. Skip this step if using jarred puree.
- Muddle. In a shaker or sturdy glass, muddle the mint and lime juice until the mint smells fragrant.
- Mix. Stir in the mango puree, rum, and simple syrup. For a colder drink, add ice and shake for about 10 seconds until frosty.
- Pour. Strain into two tall glasses filled with ice.
- Top and garnish. Add soda water, stir gently, and garnish with mint and a slice of lime or mango.
Notes
Substitutions: Thawed frozen mango works. Gold rum makes a warmer drink.
Tips: Use ripe mango, and cut back on the syrup if the puree is already sweet.
Storage: Refrigerate leftovers without soda for up to 1 day and add fresh soda water when serving.
