Ingredients needed to make a frozen mango daiquiri recipe.

What do I need to make a mango daiquiri?

Frozen mango – the easiest option is to purchase frozen mango chunks from the frozen foods department. Get them from Target here! You can also peel, chop and freeze fresh mango.
Mango nectar – I purchased the Goya brand mango nectar, which is readily available in most Hispanic foods sections.
Rum – White rum is best for a daiquiri. I used Bacardi, but you can also use Malibu if you’re looking for a coconut flavored daiquiri. Feel free to choose any white rum that best fits your budget.
Cointreau – Cointreau is an orange liqueur, which brings a flavorful balance to the drink.
Lime juice – I like to use fresh-squeezed lime juice, but you can also use bottled lime juice.
Ice – to attain an icy, thick consistency for any frozen cocktail, you’ll need a good amount of ice.

Tools:

Blender – a good quality blender is needed to make a frozen, blended daiquiri. I use and love my Blendtec Designer Series Blender.
Citrus juicer – If you choose to use fresh-squeezed lime juice, you’ll need a citrus juicer. This hand-held citrus juicer from Target is fantastic!
Hurricane or Margarita glasses – while not necessary, these glasses are the traditional vessel for a frozen daiquiri.

Garnishes for your daiquiri; feel free to get creative if you want to pretty-up your daiquiri with a garnish. I chose sliced fresh mango and a maraschino cherry, but you could also use lime slices, a twist of lime or a simple, festive paper umbrella.

Ingredient Substitutions and Recommendations:

Cointreau – if you don’t have Cointreau available, the next best option would be Triple Sec.
Fresh-Squeezed Lime Juice – if you don’t have fresh limes on hand, you can also substitute bottled lime juice. This can be found in the juice section of your supermarket.
Mango Nectar – this may be hard to come by for some. If you cannot find mango nectar, you can use orange juice as a substitute.

Frequently asked questions about making daiquiri’s at home:

What type of alcohol is in a daiquiri?

A daiquiri is traditionally made with white rum. A great option would be Bacardi or Captain Morgan, however, there are many on the market today. Choose the best quality of white rum that fits your budget.

What is a mango daiquiri made of?

A mango daiquiri is made of frozen mango, mango nectar, white rum, Cointreau (or Triple Sec), lime juice and ice.

Is a daiquiri just a margarita with rum?

Margaritas and daiquiris are very similar. When made frozen (blended) margaritas and daiquiris both have fruit, lime juice, Cointreau (or Triple Sec), and ice. A margarita is made with tequila and a daiquiri is made with rum.

What is the best glass for a daiquiri?

The most traditional glass for a daiquiri is a hurricane or margarita glass that is “up”. These stemmed glasses keep the heat from your hands off the glass, and will help prevent your drink from melting quickly.
