Mango Banana Daiquiris

LifeIsGood's Note:

Take me back to the Caribbean! Ripe mangoes are important for that Caribbean flavor, buy them in advance and allow them to ripen. The mango flavor is balanced by banana, lime juice and dark rum. Yum! Credit goes to Ina Garten.

Delicious! The flavors really go together well. We especially loved this use of fresh mango. Thanks for sharing!

I made this leaving out the rum and adding club soda and a little apple juice. Thanks! Yum!
