Mango Tango Recipe?

[Gerry]

Just returned from an 11-night cruise aboard the Vision. Loved the Mango Tango cocktails served at the pool bar but can't seem to find a recipe anywhere, even in RCCL's cocktail recipe book.

Has anyone found or figured out the recipe?

Cheers!

I do have the "Ocean Potions" recipes by RCCL, but in the book the drink is called Mango Cooler. Would this be one and the same? If so, it's as follows:

1oz dark rum; 3/4 oz triple sec; 2oz mango juice; 1oz sweetened lime juice.

Garnish w/ cherry and orange and serve in a poco grande glass.

Hope this is it! Bottoms Up... Denise :-)

Thanks, Denise, but that's not it. We had a mango cooler and it resembles KoolAid. The Mango Tango is more a sluch/frozen-type of drink. White in the bottom, likley contains coconut cream or milk, with mango "slush" on top. One person suggested that it MAY be two drinks combined - a pina colada-type drink on the bottom and a blended Mango cooler-type on top. It WAS seved in a nice big poco grande glass, though.

I even e-mailed RCCL and they couldn't come up with a recipe. They said that sometimes the bartenders make up their own recipes and, of course, they don't have those.

My last shot is a contact who is now on the VoS. He will try to weezle the recipe out of the bartender.

All this for a simple cocktail. <g>

Cheers...and thanks again.

Hi Gerry,
Seems to me they were serving those "mango Tango's" on Coco Cay?? I do remember having a few, they really hit the spot on the beach :-) Sorry, but don't have the recipe. Think I'll look around when on Explorer next month.

Just was wondering if you found the recipe for this drink. Went on a cruise this past summer and was my favorite drink. Please share if you got the recipe.

I just googled the words mango tango drink. A whole variety of the drink recipes came up.
