Description

Matcha Mango Colada is built like a proper tropical drink rather than a sweet smoothie. White rum gives structure, mango and pineapple provide ripe fruit, coconut cream supplies body and lime restores the acidity that frozen drinks often lose.

Matcha adds a gentle grassy bitterness that stops the fruit and coconut from becoming one-dimensional. It should be noticeable on the finish, not dominate the first sip.

Ingredients

  • 45 ml White rum
  • 45 ml Pineapple juice
  • 30 ml Mango Purée
  • 20 ml Coconut Cream
  • 15 ml lime juice
  • 10 ml Matcha syrup
  • 1 piece Pineapple leaf (for garnish)
  • Ice

Instructions

  1. Add rum, pineapple juice, mango purée, coconut cream, lime juice and matcha syrup to a blender.
  2. Add about one generous cup of ice and blend just until smooth and pourable.
  3. Taste before serving; add a small squeeze of lime if the fruit is especially sweet.
  4. Pour into a chilled hurricane glass.
  5. Garnish with a pineapple leaf and, if desired, the lightest dusting of matcha.
