Ingredients

Method

1

Place diced mango in an airtight container and freeze for 4 hours (or overnight) until mango is frozen.

2

Place frozen mango, alcohol, lime juice, ⅓ cup sugar syrup and the ice in a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust the sweetness with a little more sugar syrup as preferred and depending on the ripeness of the mangoes.

3

Pour daiquiri into cocktail glasses and serve immediately with twisted lime slices.

To make the sugar syrup

To make sugar syrup, combine 1 cup water with 1 cup (220g) caster sugar in a small saucepan, stir over low heat until dissolves, then bring to the boil. Reduce heat; simmer, for 5 minutes. Cool. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.

You can also use 700g frozen diced mango instead of fresh and skip step 1.
