Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups frozen mango chunks
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice

- 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 as desired for sweetness.
- Add Ice and Blend: Toss in a handful of ice cubes to achieve your preferred thickness, then blend all ingredients until smooth and creamy.
- Adjust to Taste: Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness by adding more honey/agave syrup or adjust thickness with additional ice cubes as needed, blending again briefly.

Notes
- For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the white rum.
- If frozen mango is unavailable, canned or fresh mango works well; just add extra ice cubes to maintain the cold thickness.
- Chill your glasses beforehand to keep the drink cold longer and enhance presentation.
