Cocktail Recipe: Batida Mango

We're quickly reaching a point in 2008 where drinks like this are getting a bit out of season, but just in case you have one more outdoor cocktail-party-slash-barbecue in you, here's a recent contribution from Drink Ideas:

Batida Mango Drink

Batida Mango with cachaça, mangoes, granulated sugar and crushed ice. You may be able to forgo the sugar since mango can get pretty sweet.

Ingredients:

• 2 oz cachaça
• 4 oz fresh chopped mangoes
• 2 tsp granulated sugar
• 1 cup crushed ice

Method: Place all ingredients into a blender. Blend well, pour into a wine glass, and serve.
