Mock Frozen Mango Daiquiri

By Christy Rost

Ingredients:

1		large ripe mango, sliced
¾		cup chilled white cranberry juice (I use Ocean Spray)
1		ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
2		tablespoons superfine sugar
½		ounce simple syrup
		fruit garnish (optional)

In a blender, combine mango, cranberry juice, lime juice, sugar and simple syrup; blend until smooth. Add ice cubes; blend until daiquiri is smooth and thick. Serve in glasses with a fruit garnish.

Recipe makes 3 cocktails.

To make simple syrup, combine 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves. Cool; store in refrigerator.
