    Why You'll Love It

    Now, I will confess, I'm usually not one to go for the frozen drinks. In this case, I will definitely make an exception. Frozen mango rum cocktail with mint has made a convert out of me. LOL! I want to clarify something, I prefer mango nectar to mango juice because it is a bit thicker and holds its texture much better. In other words it doesn't become watery right away like some frozen drinks. I love the intense yellow orange color too. As for the rum, I am leaving it up to you. I prefer the clear rum, so that is what I am using in this recipe. The mint adds a bright flavor touch, plus it makes a pretty garnish too. I have an awesome mint patch in my yard that grows just by looking at it.

    Mango History

    So, before I let you run off to make your frozen mango cocktail with mint I want to share with you a little mango history:

    • Cultivation of mangoes began about 4,000 years ago. The original fruit is thought to have been small, not very fleshy and rather fibrous.
    • Mangoes are considered among the world's oldest fruits. They are presumed to have their origins in northeast India, spreading west via nature and human help (traders). Mangoes arrived in the western hemisphere via the Portuguese traders who colonized the Indian subcontinent towards the end of the 15th century.
    • There are over 400 varieties of mangoes. In Thailand for example there's a popular mango salad made with green mangoes called Som Tum Mamuang made with bean sprouts, fish sauce, cilantro, peanuts and chili sauce.

    So, now that you know more about mangoes than any of your friends, or enemies, it's time to get out the blender and make yourself a frozen mango cocktail with mint. Bottoms up! And, don't forget to share this recipe post with your friends.

      I do love frozen drinks and this one looks like it would really hit the spot on a hot summer day! I could almost pretend I was at an island somewhere instead of my pool...I know that's a stretch but a girl can dream, can't she?!

      This sounds fantastic 🙂 I overdid the mangoes when I lived in Guyana which put me off them for a good while but I've been rediscovering them recently. And what better to complement them than mint and rum!

      I've recently started to really enjoy the flavor of mango and this cocktail looks like it has the right flavor combination of sweet and sour.

      I used puréed fresh mango, fresh limes with Bacardi white rum and Bacardi rum with coconut liquor- also puréed the mint and poured it all
      Into a shallow container and every hour stirred the mixture in the freezer to create crystals … served in a crystal cocktail glass with a fresh mango slice and a few coconut dried crisps - yum yum yum … a tropical slush or!
