Why this is the best mango tango drink

  • It is the tastiest mango tango. There are many different mango tango variations, but this one takes the cake.
  • It’s the best combination of tropical flavors. Mango + orange + coconut + a dash of lime = the best tropical drink.
  • You can make it any time of year. Maybe you just came back from a resort and want to pretend you’re still there. You can find the ingredients you need for this cocktail year round.

Ingredients

  • Mango nectar: Make sure to use mango nectar, not mango juice. Mango nectar gives a purer, more authentic mango flavor.
  • Orange juice: If you can, use freshly squeezed orange juice. If not, use a high quality store bought orange juice.
  • Lime juice: Use freshly squeezed lime juice.
  • Triple sec: You can substitute this with Cointreau or Grand Marnier.

Instructions

Add the coconut rum, triple sec, mango nectar, orange juice, and lime juice to a cocktail shaker. Shake vigorously for a few seconds. Strain and serve.

Expert Tips

  • Line the rims of the glasses with coconut. For a fancy presentation, dip the rim of your cocktail glass in agave syrup, then press it into shredded coconut. Turn the glass upside down to dry for 10 minutes.
  • Chill glasses beforehand. This cocktail is extra refreshing when served in a cold glass. After lining the rims of the glasses with coconut (optional), chill them in the fridge for at least an hour before serving.

    I subbed pineapple juice instead of orange juice and used an orange mango peach juice in place of mango nectar. This was delicious!!!!
