It’s summertime and here in Miami, mangoes are plentiful. It’s hard to drive down the street and not see a mango tree in someone’s yard with the branches bending from the weight of the ripening mangoes.
I LOVE mangoes!!! They are so sweet and juicy….YUM! My friend has a mango tree and a lemon tree. When she gave us some of the fruits, I wanted to put them to good use…cocktails it is!
This Fresh Mango Lemonade Cocktail is perfect for summer! And no worries…you can make this alcohol free (but why?) just by omitting the rum.
