Mango Colada

My Mango Colada turned out excellent! I've never made a drink quite like this one before. It was quite a bit more complicated then the drinks I typically make. This was mainly because of the mango puree that I used. Complicated isn't really the right word for it. The puree was more time consuming than complicated. Here's how you make it.

• 6 mangoes, seeded, peeled and sliced
• 1/2 lemon
• 2 tablespoons of sugar
• Combine ingredients in a blender. Puree until smooth. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time just until the mixture will puree smoothly. The puree should be thick.

After I made the puree, I started adding the booze! I used:

• 3/4 oz. Cruzan Pineapple rum
• 3/4 oz. Cruzan Mango rum
• 3/4 oz. Malibu Coconut rum
• A splash of pineapple juice
• 1 cup mango puree
• 1/2 cup pina colada mix
• Blend ingredients together and pour into a sugar-rimmed margarita glass. Garnish with a slice of pineapple and a slice of orange and enjoy!

Mango Colada Madness!

For my first drink I've decided to try a Mango Colada. Who are the lucky people who get to try this drink with me? My family of course! This is a recipe that my Mom tried when she was in Las Vagas and has been begging me to re-create for her for a while now. I'll be trying it out later tonight. I'll let you know how it goes!
