I am definitely a sucker for anything mango flavored and I will find whatever it is on any menu or any grocery store pretty much right away. And I'm most likely buying it because...mango! And yes I do buy a lot of fresh mangoes in season but the thought of juicing those babies is a little tiresome.
My point is that store bought mango juice and I are well acquainted but when I saw the new mango pineapple colada from Bolthouse Farms® I couldn't wait to try it. This flavor has no sugar added and includes coconut and banana for a more tropical taste and lots of fruit nutrition. And my verdict is yum because it's still distinctly mango but I can definitely taste the pineapple and the two flavors work perfectly together.
I'm sure you're not surprised to hear that I needed to make a cocktail with it ASAP. I kept the ingredients simple because the juice is already packed with flavor so it's easy to make a big batch for a party. What I also like about working with a juice blend this flavorful is that it also makes a great virgin drink. So, if you have young guests or adults that would prefer to avoid the vodka, the mocktail version tastes just as good without the kick. Cheers!
