Frozen Mango Daiquiri

Mango, coconut rum, lime and honey = sweet, icy summer sipping. I’m currently dreaming of summer vacation destinations and believe something tropical is in the plan.

It’s like a tropical vacation in a drink. With a beautiful color and cool, fruity flavor, this mango cocktail is easy to make and ready in minutes! For another fruity cocktail, try my Spiked Raspberry Lemonade too.

When it’s hot outside, nothing satisfies like a cool refreshing drink. Luckily you’ll only need a handful of ingredients to make this one.

Gather these ingredients and blend

Frozen mango
Coconut rum
Club soda or sparkling water
Lime juice
Honey or another sweetener

I blended this frozen mango punch using what was in the kitchen. I had a couple of limes, lots of frozen fruit in the freezer, and a bottle of coconut rum that was testing the limits of that whole “liquor doesn’t go bad” idea.

It took a few tries to figure out what to call this cocktail. What should you call a drink that’s completely made up? I had settled on either Frozen Mango Rum Punch, Frozen Mango Limeade, some sort of slushie and a few others but I checked with Google for guidance.

What is a daiquiri?

In the process of deciding on a title, I learned that a classic daiquiri is a blend of citrus, rum, and sugar. This was news to me.

All of the premade frozen concentrates and “daiquiri bars” made me think daiquiris were traditionally frozen. They are not. (Clearly, I’m not a drinker. I guess we all have to learn at some point.)

Using just a touch of honey, and a generous pour of club soda helps make this frozen rum punch a bit healthier than most. The club soda helps lighten it up and adds a little sparkle – just enough effervescence to make it interesting.

It comes together so quickly. And there’s no need for a trip to the freezer section at the supermarket for any of those syrupy sweet daiquiri mix concentrates.

And I know. When it comes to cocktails, most people aren’t checking for healthy ones. A cocktail is a cocktail. Right? True.

But there are a few things you can do to make them healthier. If you’ve read this far, you are in that minority that wants a slimmer sip. So, here are my top tips to do just that.

Ways to make a healthier drink

  1. Use frozen fruit as a base. Bulk up your drinks with sweet frozen pineapple, watermelon, and peaches, which are ideal in the summer.
  2. Muddle fruit for sweetness. Smash fresh berries, grapes, kiwi or melons in the bottom of a glass or shaker. Add club soda or sparkling wine for a sweet and fizzy drink.
  3. Cut the sugar. Sometimes drink recipes call for too much simple syrup or sugar. Scale it down. You might be surprised to find that less sugar works just fine.
  4. Add healthy stuff. Ginger, 100% fruit juice, mint and other herbs add tons of flavor and a few nutrient benefits in the process.

Prefer a mocktail? Try my Sparkling Blood Orange Mocktail or this Apple Ginger Mocktail in winter.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup frozen mango chunks
  • ½ cup fresh lime juice (2 juicy limes)
  • 3 ounces coconut rum (2 shots)
  • 1 tablespoon honey (or more to suit your taste!)
  • 2 cups club soda (or seltzer)

Instructions

  • Blend the frozen mango, lime juice, rum, and honey until smooth. Add the club soda and give it a light stir to combine.
  • Pour into two glasses and garnish with a lime wedge or mango chunk. Serve. 

Notes

Tips:

  • Adjust the honey to suit your tastebuds and the sweetness of your mango. I don't like overly sweet food and drink so most everything you find here is going to be on the low end of sweetness. Adjust accordingly 🙂
  • This recipe will also work really well with frozen pineapple.

    I love mango things but don’t have them very often, so this blended drink would be a treat for sure!

      Yeah! I love mango but I love the fact that using frozen mango eliminates the need to cut one!
