Tips for the Best Tropical Rum Cocktail Recipe

It’s important to choose your ingredients wisely for this frozen mango cocktail. You need coconut cream for this layered coconut mango tropical rum smoothie.  Coconut milk isn’t the same thing and won’t work! Coconut cream is just as it sounds – thick and rich and perfect for this cocktail made with frozen fruit chunks.

Add some sugar or sweetener if you prefer a sweeter result. You will have the sweetness of the fruit anyway but you can always add more if needed. Sugar, agave syrup, honey, or an artificial sweetener would work here.

The consistency should be thick enough so the layers separate but not so thick you can’t suck it up a straw. A too-thick layered coconut mango tropical rum slushie can be thinned with water. However, bear in mind it will get thinner as the ice melts anyway.
