04 - Pour into two glasses, garnish with fresh pineapple or mango slices and mint leaves if desired, and serve immediately.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- It tastes like vacation in a glass but takes less time than brewing coffee.
- Frozen fruit means you can make this any month of the year without sacrificing flavor.
- The recipe forgives everything: wrong measurements, missing ingredients, sleepy hands.
02 -
- Frozen fruit is genuinely better here because it eliminates the need for ice, which only dilutes the flavor as it melts.
- If your blender is not powerful, cut the frozen fruit into smaller pieces first or you will end up with chunky tropical soup.
03 -
- Freeze overripe mango and pineapple in a single layer on a baking sheet before bagging them so they never clump into an unusable boulder.
- Start the blender on low for ten seconds before going full speed to avoid the dreaded splatter when you remove the lid.
