Mango Strawberry Mocktails

 

M is for Mango Strawberry Mocktail!

This year I'm participating in a bi weekly challenge with some blogging friends to post recipes using all of the letters in the alphabet.  It can feature a food that begins with the letter of the week or the recipe name can contain the week's letter.

 

For this week's letter M I did some freezer diving and pulled out my stash of frozen mango. Today's the first day of at least four that will be in the 90s so I thought a frozen drink would be lovely.

It's strawberry season here and I'd diced up a bunch for another recipe but didn't end up using them all. I added them to the blender with some honey, orange juice and ice and processed them til they were slushy.

I divided it between 2 glasses and then gave the blender a quick rinse and dry.  You can definitely just do it all together in one go but I really wanted the colors to sort of marble together.

I repeated the process but omitting the ice cubes because the mango was already frozen.

I gently poured the mango mixture on top of the strawberry mixture in the glasses.  It didn't quite give me the contrast I wanted, but it was still pretty.

I then topped the glasses with a few extra pieces of mango and strawberry. These are super easy to adapt. If you'd like to make them more breakfast-y and smoothie-like, then you can add a frozen banana and some plain Greek yogurt.

If you aren't in a mocktail mood, then throw in some of your favorite rum or vodka, adding a few more ice cubes if necessary to keep it slushy.
