1tablespoonsmaple syrup, or other liquid sweetener
1tablespoon* packed mint leaves
1/2cupsilver rum, or leave out for non-alcoholic option
2cupscrushed ice, will need less if mangos are frozen
Instructions
Add all ingredients to a blender and puree until thick and frosty.
Serve with lime garnish.
Notes
As described above, adding the mint directly into the blender will make the drink yellow with specks of mint in it. I LOVE the mint taste and enjoy it this way, but if you want it to be a bright yellow, then make a mint syrup instead. Steep 1/2 cup fresh lime juice with 1/2 cup water and 1/3 cup sugar until sugar is dissolved. Let cool, then add in 2-3 Tablespoons of syrup to blender instead.*I typically use 2-3 tablespoons of fresh mint in this recipe, but start with one and then add more from there depending on taste. I prefer a really strong minty mojito!
