Mango coconut rum daiquiri with a twist of lime

With juicy mango, rich coconut, and a splash of rum, this cocktail is made for easy sundowners after a long week.

Mango is sweet and juicy, almost syrupy, and when you mix it with coconut cream you get this lush, velvety base. The rum cuts through just enough to remind you it’s a proper cocktail, not just a fancy smoothie. A squeeze of lime stops it from being too heavy and adds a little zing. You can serve this cocktail shaken over ice, blend it for a frozen version, or even make it into a party punch by scaling up the recipe.

Ingredients

  • 60 ml white rum (or spiced rum for extra depth)
  • 90 ml mango juice (fresh or bottled)
  • 60 ml coconut cream
  • 15 ml fresh lime juice
  • Ice cubes
  • Mango slices and a cocktail umbrella or orchid flower, for garnish

Method

  1. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
  2. Add rum, mango juice, coconut cream, and lime juice.
  3. Shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds until chilled and well combined.
  4. Strain into a tall glass filled with ice.
  5. Garnish with fresh mango slices, a flower, or even a sprinkle of toasted coconut.
