Mango Dream
Ingredients
1 ounce white Puerto Rican Rum
1 ounce anejo Puerto Rican Rum
½ ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
1 ½ ounces freshly squeezed orange juice
¼ cup (2 ounces) mango puree (see note)
½ ounce simple syrup (optional)
1 tarragon sprig, for garnish
Directions
Fill a large shaker glass two-thirds full of ice. Pour in both rums, both juices, the puree and the simple syrup. Shake until blended and well chilled. Strain the drink into an ice-filled goblet; garnish with the tarragon sprig. Serve at once.
Note: To make mango puree, peel one ripe mango and cut the flesh away from the flat seed. Place the flesh in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Usually, one mango will produce one cup of puree.
