Mango & Cherry Rum Slush

Mango Cherry Rum Slush

Cherries are out in full force right now in all the markets close to me! There is a cherry pie (and also cherry Pavlova) in my very near future, but before that, here is this cherry-ish frozen cocktail to tide you over. I say cherry-ish, because it’s also made with mango. If it’s as hot where you are as it is here, you will be needing one of these. They are so easy to make… just cherries, mango, a lemon, a little simple syrup and spiked with a healthy splash of rum.

Mango Cherry Rum Slush

So here’s the thing, Debbie and I used sour cherries for this, because Debbie’s friend Sherril gave her a bunch, but really, you could use either. Sweet cherries would just require less simple syrup in the mix. Since they are abundant right now, that’s what I will use when I make these.

Mango Cherry Rum Slush

I’m going to share a trick to cutting up a mango. It’s how I learned to slice up mangos when my family lived in Haiti many years ago and ate copious amounts of mangos! Basically, you slice the mango down either side of the pit so you have two almost halves. Then slice the rest of the flesh from around the pit. Then take one of the halves and use a knife to slice the flesh longways first and then across to form little squares. Then press the skin and turn it inside out so the flesh pops out if you want to just eat it like that OR you can just slice it with a spoon or small knife.  Just take a look at the picture at the top of this post.   It’s sort of hard to explain so here’s a video that will show you. Trust me, you will eat more mangos, just because now you know how to slice em up easy!

Eat them raw and juicy, or make this rum cocktail!

    Anything cold, and boozie, is just what I love this summer! The flavors you’ve combined are just what I love right now and are so in season. And YAY for learning how to cut a mango! See how easy it is now? I just learned too. 😀

    I love cherry season! I always buy way more than I could ever use up, and this looks like a great way to use some of them – these are gorgeous!

      Oh I hear you! I always buy a ton too. They dont really last long after cherry pie and the ones that fall in my mouth, but now I save some at least for this drink.
