This lovely smooth cocktail is simple to make:
Instead of putting ice in it I just refrigerated all the ingredients overnight so they were nice and cool
For 4 serves just blend together:
180ml white rum (or less if you prefer less of a kick)
1 teaspoon or a bit more of lemon juice
425g can of mango pieces in juice
250ml of milk
2 tablespoons of caster sugar – I used ½ teaspoon of stevia powder instead
Pour into your festive glasses and enjoy.
Sounds like a wonderful way to celebrate the Holidays!!

ReplyDeleteSounds delicious .... I'm on my way over. ;D
ReplyDeleteSounds good, we always did seafood for Christmas when I lived in Australia. I miss that!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds great, something a bit different.
ReplyDeleteSounds delicious no matter whether it's hot or cold! Just for grins, I hope that one day I can spend the holidays in the southern hemisphere just for a change and to observe the different culture of that season. I'm sure it would be quite interesting.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds delicious! My son loves mango and would love if I made this for him! I'm Jenni and I found your blog over at GFC. Hope you're having a great day.

Mmmm...rum and tropical fruit. You can't go wrong with that combination!
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling that these are far too easy to drink - they sound delicious!
ReplyDeleteMmmmmmmmm I'm thinking "coconut milk" (to make it vegan)! :D
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that the idea of Christmas falling during the summer months does seem a bit strange. This drink sounds really yummy. Bet it would be tasty with some coconut as well!
ReplyDeleteThis drink sounds delicious. I love mango. I will have to save this for the summer; to be sipped on the patio. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteCaite! I love this! I'm going to serve this on Christmas in my house, using frozen mango and adding a bit of water as necessary. My husband is Filipino so his family will eat mango any time of the year! These cocktails will be perfect. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds good, and looks pretty too.
ReplyDeleteripe mangos have been hard to come by lately. the ones in the store are rock hard and leaving them on the counter to ripen has lead to rotting fruit at one end and hard at the other. oh bother. I Should be drinking while contemplating the fruit issue>
ReplyDeleteI have this bookmarked! YUM! Can't wait to try it! Thanks for linking up at our Gluten Free Fridays party! I have tweeted and pinned your entry to our Gluten Free Fridays board on Pinterest! :)
