Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups frozen mango chunks
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup coconut cream
- 1/4 cup white rum (optional)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1–2 teaspoons honey or agave syrup (optional, to taste)
- Ice cubes (as needed for thickness)
Garnish
- Fresh mango slices
- Shredded coconut
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add the frozen mango chunks, pineapple juice, coconut cream, white rum (if using), lime juice, and honey or agave syrup for sweetness. This creates the flavorful base for your Mango Colada.
- Add Ice: Include a handful of ice cubes to the blender. This will help achieve a smooth, creamy texture and chill the beverage.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend all ingredients on high speed until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and evenly combined. Pause to check consistency and sweetness.
- Adjust Consistency and Flavor: If the drink is too thick, add a little more pineapple juice; if too thin, add more ice. For added sweetness, increase honey or agave syrup to taste.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour the Mango Colada into chilled glasses and garnish with fresh mango slices and a sprinkle of shredded coconut for an inviting tropical look. Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
Notes
- For a non-alcoholic version, omit the rum entirely.
- If frozen mango is unavailable, use canned or fresh mango and increase ice cubes for chilling and thickness.
- Chill your serving glasses beforehand to keep the drink cool longer and enhance presentation.
