Hey Amy!

I can’t believe the summer is almost over.  I am trying to understand what that means to me as a new New Yorker.  Summer is year round in Los Angeles so I am certain I am about to have the shock of my life when Labor Day comes and goes and suddenly I have to wear tights and coats!  Regardless, I am hoping to have a nice Labor Day weekend and celebrate the end of the season with some adult beverages.  Today I am sharing some flavorful ways to make daiquiri’s.  You can substitute any fruit puree for the mango to create your custom daiquiri.

Mango

1 1/2 oz. light rum
1 Tbsp. triple sec
1  1/2 oz. lime juice
1 tsp. sugar
2 oz. pureed mango

Combine ingredients in a blender with 1 c. crushed ice.  Blend until smooth and enjoy!

Banana Daiquiri

1 1/2 oz. light rum
1 Tbsp. triple sec
1 1/2 oz. lime juice
1 tsp. sugar
1 ripe banana sliced

Combine all ingredients plus 1 c. crushed ice in a blender.  Blend and serve.

Classic

2 oz. light rum
1 oz. lime juice
1 tsp. sugar

Combine all ingredients plus 1 c. crushed ice in a blender.  Blend and serve.

Let me know what kinds of flavors you create!  I would enjoy a strawberry/banana or a blueberry/raspberry.
