Cooking Lesson #680: Mango-Chile Dole Whip Style Rum Cocktail

…from the Perspectives’ Happy Hour Bar

How you doin’? A couple of Happy Hours back I shared the Original Disneyland Pineapple Dole Whip drink recipe with you. Today, I spiced it up a bit for a Caribbean cruise.
 
When this spicy-sweet take on the Dole Whip returned to Disney Fantasy, we knew we needed to find a way to make it at home. The sweet tropical fruits combined with Tajín and chamoy sauce creates the perfect combination of fresh, tangy, and spicy—and ooh, this drink is so smooth and creamy! Serve it on hot afternoons when you’re craving something cool, slurpable, and a bit sassy.
 
Prep time:  10 minutes
Yield:  2 cocktails
 
Ingredients 
1 pound frozen mango
1/2 cup fresh diced pineapple
1/2 cup coconut milk
2 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon Tajín Clásico seasoning, plus more for garnish
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons ice water
3-ounces white rum
6 tablespoons Tajin Fruity Chamoy Sauce, divided
Fresh mango, peeled and diced, for garnish
1 ounce 151 rum, divided
 
Directions

1. In a blender jar, combine the frozen mango, diced pineapple, coconut milk, sugar, Tajín, lime juice, lemon juice, water and white rum. Blend on a high speed until smooth, about 1 minute.
2. Divide the Tajín chamoy sauce between two pint glasses, drizzle it in so it coats the inner walls of each glass.
3. Fill each glass with the mango whip.
4. Garnish each glass with diced mango and Tajín seasoning.
5. Float 1/2 ounce of the 151 Rum on the top of each cocktail.
6. Enjoy immediately.

ChefSecret:  The Mango-Chile Dole Whip Cocktail appears to be a nice mild tropical cocktail. Don’t let looks fool you.  This cocktail packs a wallop.

Quip of the Day:  A nervous first time cruiser asked the captain, “Do ships like this sink very often?” “No,” replied the captain, “Usually only once.”
