Questions
What's a non alcoholic mango daiquiri?
It's made from pureed mangoes, lime juice, simple syrup, and rum extract. It's a fun and fruity drink typically served in hurricane glasses and garnished with a maraschino cherry or fresh strawberry.
How much sugar is in this drink?
There is 73.6 grams of sugar per 15 fl oz. My frozen mangoes weren't very sweet, so I had to add a lot of simple syrup. If yours are sweeter, you won't need to add that much simple syrup.
How to Make
Pour 2 cups (400g) of granulated sugar and 2 cups (472 ml) of water in a saucepan. Stir over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved, then chill until cold.
You'll need 5 cups of frozen mango chunks, 1 cup of lime juice, 1 ⅔ cups simple syrup, and ½ teaspoon of rum extract.
Puree the frozen mango chunks, adding a little water if necessary. Blend in the remaining ingredients until smooth.
If the drink isn't thick enough for you, blend in 1-2 cups of crushed ice.
Pour into three 15-ounce hurricane glasses and garnish with a maraschino cherry, mint sprig, and a paper umbrella. Enjoy!
Variations
- Fruit: try adding some frozen pineapple chunks or frozen strawberries to change up the flavor.
- Lime Juice: you could try a half-and-half blend of fresh lime juice and fresh lemon juice.
- Simple Syrup: a liquid sweetener such as honey or agave nectar would be a good substitute.
- Rum Extract: feel free to leave this out if you want.
Pro Tips
- Use freshly squeezed lime juice. The bottled juice doesn't taste as good as freshly squeezed. It's definitely worth the extra time to do it yourself.
- You may need to add a little water while pureeing the mangoes. This is especially true if you're using a less powerful blender.
- Adjust the amount of lime juice and simple syrup to taste. Everyone's frozen fruit will taste different (I used Publix brand), so you'll need to adjust the flavors.
- Blend in crushed ice for a thicker texture. Start with 1 cup, then add another.
- Make it ahead of time. Pour the drink into a freezer-safe pitcher and freeze until needed. Defrost before serving and break up any clumps with a fork.

Recipe
Frozen Virgin Mango Daiquiri
Ingredients
For the Drink
- 5 cups frozen mango chunks
- ½-1 cup filtered water, optional
- 1 ⅔ cups simple syrup, 392
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice, 236
- ½ teaspoon rum extract, 2.5
For the Garnish
- 3 maraschino cherries
- 3 sprigs of fresh mint
- 3 paper cocktail umbrellas
Instructions
- Squeeze the juice from 6-7 large limes to get 1 cup (236 ml).
- Puree the frozen mango chunks in a blender, adding ½-1 cup of filtered water if needed.
- Blend in the simple syrup, lime juice, and rum extract until smooth. Taste and add more lime juice or simple syrup if desired.
- Pour the daiquiris into three 15-ounce hurricane glasses. Cut a slit in the bottom of three maraschino cherries with stems and sit them on the edges of the glasses. Insert a mint sprig and a paper umbrella in each drink. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Squeeze your own lime juice for the best flavor.
- Make your own simple syrup by placing 2 cups (400g) of granulated sugar and 2 cups (472 ml) of water in a saucepan. Stir over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved, then chill until needed.
- Adjust the amount of lime juice and simple syrup to taste. Each fruit will have a different amount of sweetness, so you'll need to adjust accordingly.
- Want a thicker texture? Blend in some crushed ice.
- Need to make ahead? Blend the daiquiri, then pour it into a plastic container and freeze until needed. Take it out about 30-45 minutes ahead, then break it up with a fork to make it slushy.
