Summertime Cocktail

I came across a wonderful daiquiri recipe recently...did a few modifications and served it this past weekend to family. They just loved it. I know it's the end of summer, but I think this cocktail could be served any time. Enjoy!

Peach Mango Daiquiris

1 - 12 oz. bag of frozen mango
1/2 - 12 oz. bag of frozen peaches
1/2 cup lime juice
1/2 cup simple syrup (see note below)
1/2 cup dark rum

(You may have to do this in batches depending on the size of your blender). Place the mango and peaches with lime juice into your blender and process until it is smooth. Add the simple syrup and rum. Add 1 - 2 cups of ice (if your mango and peaches are frozen when you begin - you will use less ice than if they are thawed) and continue to process until smooth and thick. I made a double batch which fit nicely in a glass pitcher.

Note: to make simple syrup - combine 1 cup of water with 1 cup of sugar in a small saucepan. Heat until the sugar is completely dissolved. Cool to room temperature.

To make this "Family friendly" skip the rum. And to make it even better, instead of ice add vanilla ice cream - how great is that!!

Enjoy!!
