Spicy Rum Mango Cooler
Today I am all about tropical drinks and this spicy rum cooler fits the bill perfectly. I have been craving a tropical vacation and this drink is as close as I am going to get right now.
The sweetness of the mango paired with the spiciness of the habanero syrup really balances each other out. The rum compliments both the mango and the mint leaves which sends the flavor profile of this drink right over the edge. I can’t get enough of spicy cocktails and this one is no exception. So, sit back and pretend you are drinking the tropical gem on the beach and let rum take you away. Cheers!
