Notes
The drink tastes best with ripe, sweet mangoes. Under-ripe mangoes can make the cocktail too tart.
Store leftover mango puree in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Skip the rum to make a non-alcoholic version that's just as tasty.
For a sweeter drink, add an extra 1/4 oz of simple syrup.
