I needed a cocktail today. Badly.
Disclaimer: I didn’t intend for this post to glorify the consumption of liquor. Please drink responsibly and remember that alcohol is not the answer to life’s problems!
I shall call this cocktail “My Heart May Hurt but At Least I’m Getting My Antioxidants”
1/2 a mango
1/4 cup blueberries
fresh mint (optional)
shot of rum
First, try the rum. Make sure it tastes good. Then, prep the fruit.
Stick the mango and blueberries in a blender or, if you’re lazy like me, in a mini food processor.
Take another sip of rum. It’s vegan. Stick the fruit mixture in a glass.
Add ice.
Add the rum, top with some mint leaves, stir and enjoy responsibly!

A good summer cocktail is really indispensable. This looks AWESOME!
I appreciate how you continuted to quality control the taste of the rum 🙂 Sometimes, you just have those days….hope things look up soon! Also I wanted to let you know that I nominated you for the One Lovely Blog Award! http://thecrueltyfreereview.wordpress.com/2012/06/26/on-lovely-blog-award/
Thank you!!! I am a true believer in tasting as you make, especially when liquor is involved. 😉
I feel like the rum was not wholly integrated with the other flavors. Is there a reason you did not add the rum to the food processor, also?
Very good point and one that I thought of as I was drinking it. I’ll have to make some again and add the rum to the blender/processor!
