joyceyw Posted February 28, 2007 #2 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Sorry I can't help you with a recipe, but Mango Tangos with a floater are my favorite foo foo drink too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormGoddess Posted February 28, 2007 #3 Share Posted February 28, 2007 You won't find the Mango Tango on the web (tried that,my fave too) as it is RCI's drink. I do know per speaking with a bartender on the Grandeur that it is Pina Colada mix, add mango syrup, juice or puree and dump in the rum. Not sure if it will come out the same at home though,just because you won't be on a cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deora24 Posted February 28, 2007 #4 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I posted the same request last April after coming back from the Grandeur! Loved that drink. I had a few suggestions...tried all kinds of combinations using frozen baccardi mixers, flavored rums, ... nothing was quite right! Had a few happy weekends trying though! We're heading out on the Voyager 3/31 and I was hoping I could get a Mango Tango with a proper recipe! For sure it's a combo of 2 drinks...

lccruiser2006 Posted February 28, 2007 #5 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Friends had a "Frozen Party" because they missed Mango Tangos so much. Use 2 seperate blenders- one for pina coladas (white rum) & one for mango daquiris (any tequila) but mix them together in the glass. For some reason they tasted better mixed this way, plus the colors looked better. Also remember the second drink is always better if you've used enough booze.

Serve in: Cocktail Glass Not sure where this recipe came from, but it is not the Mango Tango served in RCI ships. First, it's a frozen drink, and second there is no blue curacoa in it, I'd vomit.

Lynn the Cruiser Posted March 1, 2007 #13 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Mango tangoes are the best. When I was on my first cruise in 2002, my daughter bought a recipe book of all the RCI drinks, pics and all, for her college roommates. It was a great book, I believe it cost $10, and she was sorry she didn't get one for herself. Two years later I looked for the book and it was nowhere to be found. I even asked in the RCI logo store and it seemed like no-one even heard of it! The Mango Tango drink recipe was definitely in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollyeilis Posted March 1, 2007 #14 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Mango Tangos are perfectly lovely without the tropical setting; I fell for them on our Alaskan cruise. Two days into the cruise I switched to virgin MTs b/c I figured out I was pregnant, but they still tasted delicious. Hubby watched them make it, it was simple. Mango puree from some sort of container, pina colada mix from another container. Rum (until one figures out pg). Ice. Blend. yum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pomperaugrr Posted March 1, 2007 #20 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I have seen frozen Mango puree at Trader Joe's. If you have one nearby, you might be able to find it. Otherwise, get frozen or ripe fresh mangos and run them through your blender. Strain out any pulp and you have mango puree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FirstTimer from Ohio Posted March 3, 2007 Author #22 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Thanks so much for everyone's input. I have having a frozen party tonight and will try the Pina colada/Mango Daq. mix. I can't believe it is Pina because I can't stand coconut. But I will try it. I am also going to try something I think might be good. I am going to call it a Bango Tango. Half Mango Daq/Half Banana Daq. Mixed with RUM, ofcourse. I will let you know how it turns out. Berry:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
