Notes
Fresh mango puree works best for this recipe. To make it, blend ripe mango chunks until smooth and strain if needed.
Store-bought mango puree can work as a substitute when fresh mangoes aren't available.
For a mocktail version, replace the rum with coconut water and add a splash of vanilla extract.
Make sure to muddle the mint leaves gently to avoid bitter flavors from over-muddling.
The drink can be made sweeter by adding more sugar or mango puree to taste.
