Why this is the best mango tango drink

- 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.

- 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.

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