You'll need:
- Mangos
- Sugar
- White rum
- Club soda
- Fresh mint
- Limes
- Ice
Purée two mangos in a food processor or high speed blender.
If you can't find fresh, you can use defrosted frozen mango.
Combine ⅔ cup sugar and ⅔ cup water in a saucepan.
Bring to a simmer, then take off the heat and let cool.
You just made simple syrup!
Place 2 lime wedges and several fresh mint leaves
in a tall glass.
Use the end of a wooden spoon (or a muddler) to mash the lime and mint leaves.
Stir in 2 tablespoons mango purée, 2 tablespoons simple syrup, and one shot of rum; stir to combine.
Fill glass ¾ of the way with ice and top with ½ cup club soda.
Garnish with a slice of mango and fresh mint leaves.
