Alcoholic Mango smoothies
Posted: May 16, 2008 11:41 pm
I stumbled on this idea in a silly way...mostly out of boredom.
(I'm not entirely sure on the proportions. I actually started pouring and it came out about like this.)
Take two whole mangoes. Slice and dice like most folks do with a sharp knife. Try to maintain the integrity of the diced pieces.
Combine 1 cup Cruzan mango rum, 1/2 cup Bacardi light rum, 1 cup Malibu coconut rum in an airtight container (glass is better, but plastic will do also)
Soak the mango pieces in the concoction for about 2-3 weeks in the fridge. Open the container every couple of days to remove condensation.
At about the halfway mark add 2 Tbs of white sugar, 1 Tbs of brown sugar and enough cinnamon to taste. Stir until sugar begins to dissolve.
At the end of the soaking pour contents into blender and add peach mango juice and a touch of grenadine.
Blend with ice and enjoy.
The taste overshadows the alcohol content and the stuff usually goes down like water.
I tried this for Cinco de Mayo 2008 and it was a hit.
