Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups pineapple juice chilled
  • 1 cup mango nectar or mango puree
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon for warmth and spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger adds a spicy kick
  • 1/4 cup white rum optional, for extra flavor
  • 1 cup ice cubes frozen, about 6-8 cubes

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Combine pineapple juice, mango nectar, ground cinnamon, and ground ginger in a blender. Blend briefly to mix the spices evenly into the liquids.
  2. Add the white rum and ice cubes to the blender. Secure the lid firmly.
  3. Blend on high speed for about 30-45 seconds, until the mixture is smooth and has a slushy, scoopable consistency. You'll hear the ice crushing and notice the mixture turning vibrant and frosty.
  4. Pause to check the texture; if it's too thick, add a splash more juice and pulse briefly. If it's too runny, add a few more ice cubes and blend again.
  5. Once the desired consistency is achieved, pour the frozen cocktail into chilled glasses. The mixture should be brightly colored and have a thick, icy texture that slightly drapes the glass edges.
  6. Garnish with a slice of tropical fruit or a sprig of mint if desired. Serve immediately with a straw, and enjoy the refreshing, spicy-sweet flavors.

Notes

To keep the cocktail icy longer, store glasses in the freezer before serving. Feel free to adjust spice levels by increasing cinnamon or ginger for a warmer or more pungent flavor.
