I am normally not a fan of blended drinks, but this one is amazing. It’s the perfect cocktail for hanging out by the pool. It is really easy to make and this weekend I happened to have all the ingredients since I am on a big smoothie kick. (and let’s be real, I am never too far from vodka)
Ingredients: (for one drink, double or triple as needed)
1/2 cup Mangoes
1/2 cup Pineapple
1 teaspoon sugar
1 shot Vodka
Lemon LaCroix
Splash of Pomegranate juice
Just blend the mangoes, pineapple, sugar and vodka together. Then add a bit of LaCroix to help smooth it out. I like using LaCroix since I like the added bubbles, but you can use anything you want. I have also used pineapple juice and that was good, too. Coconut water would also be delish. Pour the drink in a glass then top it with a little bit of pomegranate juice. This makes it look pretty and when you mix it in it adds a nice sweetness.
I made a little video showing how to make it, I want to try making more vids… but it is definitely a work in progress! Cheers!
This looks fantastic! Love the extra touch of pomegranate in the cocktail!
It adds a nice flavor and looks oh-so pretty 🙂
Ok now this sounds delicious!!! Would make the perfect poolside cocktail! Yum!!!
It really is.. I am obsessed with my new blender, so I predict more frosty goodness coming!
This sounds good! My girlfriends and I are always looking for foo foo drinks. I've bookmarked this one. Thanks!
haha yes this is a good one to save then! 😉
Ooh yum this looks perfect for summer!
Yes it was delish!!
I love La Croix drinks!! I have a recipe on my blog for a lemon berry cocktail featuring La Croix as well 🙂
Yes I rememeber! Actually, I used to always use pineapple juice for this.. but I decided to try LaCroix recently when I didnt have any pineapple juice and I remembered you used it for a cocktail!
That looks so pretty and begs to be next to a beach scene in Hawaii!
Thank you! That does sound fantastic!
um, this sounds AMAZING. love anything pineapple. yum yum yum!
I know me too, for more pineapple flavor you should sub out the LaCroix with pineapple juice 🙂 Have a great week!
Ooh, this sounds really good. Definitely perfect for summer. Thanks for sharing it!
Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful week!
It's so pretty you almost don't want to drink it… Almost:)
It actually tastes better than it looks.. at least to me! 🙂
This looks super delicious! Perfect for summer!
Yes it is super summery.. and pretty too! 🙂
You had me at Vodka 😉 Seriously though, looks super yummy and refreshing.
I know it! It would probably be good with tequila too.. but day drinking + tequila +me= bad news bears. 😉
This looks SO good! I wish I could try it now, it's much needed 🙂 I pinned it for later.
haha I feel like I could ALWAYS use a drink these days!
This looks amazing!! As blended drinks go it's actually fairly "natural" too! Pinning,
yeah I don't like overly sweet drinks! Thanks for pinning and have a great week!
great job with the video – you all rock imovie! And can't wait to try this!!
It was my first time trying it.. I need A LOT more practice. This was hard for me to make and it was only using premade themes! ha!
I could use one right about NOW!
haha me too! It's almost friday…
looks good! i'm not a big fan of blended either but when it's super HOT it's great!
Yes for some reason I have been craving them lately.. as long as its not too sweet. 🙂
What a pretty drink! This sounds like the perfect drink for the shore. I'll have to leave the vodka out for me though :(.
It would taste really good without the vodka too! 😉 I hope you are feeling good!!
So my husband would kill me for sharing this but he loves blended margaritas and other blended drinks. I think I'll surprise him with this drink this weekend. Thanks for sharing!
that is funny!! Sometimes a blended drink is needed! 😉
Looks super refreshing!!! Love the video! I was bobbing my head to the beat while watching (:
While I was editing it my husband was like "What the hell are you watching?" since he could only hear the music hahaha
This does look yummy! Will def give it a try at my next pool party! Thank you for sharing 😉
It is so good! I hope you like it and have a wonderful week!
OMG, I love this! Anything with mangos and pineapple is perfect for me haha!
yes it is the perfect summer combo!! Have a wonderful week!
I thought I commented, but can't find it, so if this is a repeat, sorry! The video turned out so great! The drink looks so delicious and refreshing. Plus I'm a sucker for anything with mangoes.
