Frequently asked questions
How long does Tropical Mango Rum Daiquiri take to make?
Total time is about 6 minutes (6 min prep + 0 min cook). Almost all of that is prep — once everything is in the blender it is under a minute to smooth. Portion the fruit into freezer bags ahead so mornings are just dump-and-blend.
How do I store leftover Tropical Mango Rum Daiquiri?
