Tell me these Pineapple-Mango Daiquiri’s won’t Tell me these Pineapple-Mango Daiquiri’s won’t entice the sun to shine. 🍍⁠🥭🍹☀️🏖⁠This is OFFICIALLY our 2nd RUM cocktail recipe on the blog. We are here to bring you recipes you want, and will love. We only had one RUM cocktail on our blog, and it has created quite a SPIKE in traffic (see what I did there 😉)....so I felt like adding another BEACH SIDE RUM DRINK was fitting.⁠⁠Oh, and although I garnished with pineapple leaves from a fresh pineapple, this drink is made with frozen fruit that I bought at Trader Joes. ⁠⁠One last thing. This is not a CLASSIC DAIQUIRI. That is made with just 3 ingredients: Rum, Lime Juice and Sugar. So, if you are looking for that, keep scrolling...⁠⁠BUT! IF you DO LOVE a FRUITY, RUM drink, then RUN, don’t walk TO THE LINK IN BIO and TAP THAT COCKTAIL PHOTO to get the recipe!⁠⁠SAVE. LIKE. SHARE. ⁠⁠Have the best day, friends!⁠⁠XOXO, Dina and Bruce⁠⁠⁠
