Mango meltdown...vodka or rum?

[bangzoom6877]

Is the mango meltdown on NCL made with vodka or rum? I know, SOOOOO important, lol! ;)

I've never had one and we sail next week so I'm curious. :)

They''ll make it with whatever you want... I think a "standard" one comes with rum, but I was getting them with Patron Repasado (included in the UBP)

Actually, that's about as important as any question ever asked. But now I've got to Goggle it also.

Does anyone know the exact recipe for a Mango Meltdown? I cruised in May and this was my favorite drink, but I never asked for the recipe because I figured I would just google it when I got home. Imagine my surprise when the recipe does not come up. I have tried other recipes, but they are not as good as the ones on NCL. Please someone help me or I will have to take another cruise!

That's the way I make this drink

 

Ingredients

 

 

2 1/2 small ripe mangoes, peeled and cubed (about 2 cups), plus 1/2 mango cut into slices with skin, for garnish

4 ounces best-quality golden rum

4 cups fresh pineapple juice (from a 4 1/2-pound pineapple)

Fresh tropical fruit, such as dragon fruit and star fruit, for garnish

 

 

Directions

 

 

1. Puree mangoes, rum, and 1/2 cup water in a blender. Pour 2 ounces puree into each of six 12-ounce glasses. Fill glasses with ice, and top off with pineapple juice. Garnish with tropical fruit.

I'm thinking that was an excellent question and the drink sounds SO yummy! I have been telling my husband about all these awesome drinks people have been posting in the boards and I can't wait to try them...I'm not a big drinker so he said he was going to make me wear my life jacket "just in case". ..

Back when I made them we used Vodka, however on board I think they'd make it however you asked.

[jenseib]

Will they make a virgin version of this?

Same here! not a big drinker but with the UBP we might just need to try many of these drinks and the life jacket is a GREAT idea;)
