Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups frozen tropical fruit (e.g., mango, pineapple) pre-frozen for best texture
  • 1/2 cup white rum preferably aged for richer flavor
  • 1 cup ice cubes or more for adjusting consistency
  • 1 tablespoon honey or simple syrup optional for added sweetness
  • 1/2 cup coconut water or juice for blending and flavor balance

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Add the frozen tropical fruit, rum, honey, coconut water, and ice cubes into the blender.
  2. Pulse the blender on low speed to start breaking the fruit and ice, then gradually increase to high, blending until the mixture is smooth and icy with a vibrant, slushy texture.
  3. Stop the blender and check the consistency; if it’s too thick, add a splash more coconut water and blend again briefly.
  4. Pour the slushie into chilled glasses, ensuring a colorful, icy layer sits on top with a slightly frosty exterior.
  5. Garnish with a slice of fresh fruit, a sprig of mint, or a drizzle of extra honey for visual appeal.
  6. Serve immediately while icy and refreshingly cold, enjoying the layered, fruity flavors with each sip.

Notes

Adjust the amount of ice to achieve your preferred slushiness. For a stronger rum flavor, add a bit more; for a sweeter taste, incorporate extra honey or syrup. Serve right after blending for the best icy texture.
