- Combine all the ingredients in an upright blender and blend on high speed until smooth and creamy. If your drink is too thick, add a little more orange juice or coconut water, to help blend everything!

- It may not be the healthiest thing in the world, but I love to add plain Greek yogurt to this mocktail version and create a delicious tropical smoothie!
Notes
If you are having trouble getting your daiquiri to blend, add a little more orange juice, to help loosen it up. You can also add more orange juice or rum to help thin out your daiquiri if it is too thick.
If you do opt to use fresh mango for this recipe, you'll probably want to add a bit of extra ice to help create a thicker, creamy texture!
I love to use my homemade simple sugar syrup for this recipe, but if you are looking for a lightly healthy option, or something less sweet, you can use liquid honey or agave nectar. You can even cut the sweeter out altogether if you like!
