It’s probably not too much of a surprise that my family likes to try out new recipes of all kinds, that means new drink recipes too. So, when my brother hosted a party in his newly acquired house, the event called for a new drink concoction to be created. I was on the job!
After a little experimentation and lots of taste testing for quality control, mom and I came up with what we lovingly dubbed the Mango Margaloda (aka a mix between a margarita and a pina colada). And let me tell you it was delicious and a serious crowd pleaser! Creation is simple and there aren’t too many ingredients either.
Mango Margaloda Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 4 shots of Tequila
- 1 shot of White Rum
- 2 shots of Triple Sec
- 2 Mangoes
- 2 Strawberries
- 1 Lime
- 1/4 cup of cream of coconut
- 1 tbsp of sugar
- A bag of coconut flakes
- Ice
How to mix it together…
- Fill the blender halfway with ice.
- Cut mangoes into chunks and add them to the blender.
- Remove the green top from the strawberries, add them to the blender.
- Pour in all the shots.
- Begin blending, using the crush ice option.
- Once that is fairly well blended, add in a tablespoon of sugar, and 1/4 a cup of cream of coconut.
- Juice a lime and pour that into the mix as well.
- Blend again, continuing to blend until the margaloda is a smooth and drinkable consistency.
- Pour into coconut-flake rimmed glasses.
- Enjoy. (Makes 3 GOOD sized margalodas or 4 regular sized ones.)
Making this with the Braun Pure Mix Countertop Blender was a simple. I’m used to blenders that have a hard time cutting through and breaking up ice, which makes for a disappointing margarita. But this blender is powerful enough to get the job done and quickly too. I was amazed at how quickly the ice went from solid chunks to smooth.
Obviously this is a mango margaloda recipe for those over 21. Want to try this in a virgin format? Substitute coconut water for the alcohol and enjoy!

Now that looks like a party!
How fun! Love this for summer

I used to work at a taco place and we got two free margaritas at the end of each shift (best job ever) and even though I hated blended drinks the bartender made the BEST blended mango margarita EVER… so now I really want to make this. haha pinning!
This sounds SO good! What a perfect summer drink!
What is cream of coconut? I saw it in the picture, but not sure what that is, is it a popular alcohol mixer or a food item? Could I use coconut milk instead? This sounds like a perfect summer recipe for our 100 degree weather!
I’m all about the mango, love this.

That looks like vacation in a glass! I don’t drink alcohol, but I’m thinking my book club friends would love this for summer meetings.
The word ‘yum’ doesn’t even begin to describe how this looks and sounds. Totally going on the cocktail list!
I love margaritas and I love pina coladas, but I never thought to mix the two! This one is a winner!
Oh this sounds yummy! my kind of drink! Reminds me of laying in a hammock on the beach
This looks delicious! Perfect for a summer day. I’m always on the lookout for yummy, new cocktails. Pinned!
Anything with mango I freaking adore! I know I will love the taste of this drink for sure!

I love the idea of coming up with a new drink for a party and maybe even giving it a fun name. You are very creative with your recipe-making!
I absolutely love a good drink! This looks so fun!
If you’re by the beach or at the poolside, this is definitely the perfect drink to have in your hand while you’re relaxing with friends! I love how easy it is to make and it looks really refreshing! Mangoes and pineapples go well together.
This looks so good! I could of really used this recipe for when I was camping over the weekend.

Okay girl! Walt just broke two of our Margerita glasses. Now I have to do get more…imagine MargalodaS. MMMM
Yum! Perfect for a cocktail party but without the alcohol would be refreshing also. I can’t wait to try these.
Wow! this looks so refreshing! The perfect drink for summer!
I never tried to do mango margaloda at home, I’m sure my friends would love this fun idea and would be perfect for friday night.
OK, this is one I will have to try! Rum and mango is already one of my favorite combinations, but adding strawberries, too? Win-win- win!

Another suggestion, one clearly centered on my experience
in digital and print media - if any of them freelance weddings you can sometime get a photographer for a whole lot if you get to your local paper and
have their photo team.
