I’ve always been a typical fruity drink kind of girl. I love fruits and their flavors in general so why not serve it up in a drink? Mango Mai Tai cocktails have always been on the top of my list. Being that mangoes are now in season, it’s a perfect way to use those mangos in your yard, or from your neighbor’s yard. Haha! Invoking the flavors and vibes of summer time, it is the perfect refreshing drink to cool off by the pool. Don’t forget to add a cocktail umbrella, a smile, and share…if you’d like!
