Cruzan Mango Rum

Cruzan Mango Rum infuses clean St. Croix rum with the lush, sun-drenched sweetness of ripe tropical mangoes. A fragrant tropical bouquet opens into juicy fruit notes on the palate, followed by a crisp, pleasant finish. Pair with iced tea or lemonade on a hot afternoon, or shake with fresh lime juice and triple sec for a fruity Mango Daiquiri.

This listing is for the 750 ml size. At a 1-ounce cocktail measure, that volume provides approximately 25 pours before allowing for spills or a different recipe.

Try a small pour first, either neat or with a single cube, to decide how you want to use the rum. For a longer serve, add ice, ginger beer and a squeeze of lime. The mixer brings its own sweetness, so taste before adding syrup. Fresh lime provides a useful counterpoint and lets you adjust the drink a little at a time without committing to a complicated cocktail.

For a Daiquiri variation, shake 1 ounce of rum with half an ounce of fresh lime juice and a quarter-ounce of simple syrup over ice. Strain into a chilled glass and adjust the citrus or syrup to taste on the next pour. Different rum expressions change the character of this short recipe. Using the same proportions is a useful way to compare bottles while keeping the other ingredients consistent.
