Mango-Gina-Tini martini

This mango flavored alternative martini was inspired by one of our great friends. She passed along a basic recipe, and of course, MartiniGuy had to experiment. This recipe is nothing but fun and tropical. It's also a departure from the whole world of vodka and gin. Dont fear the mango!

Ingredients

• 4 ounces of freezing Cruzan Mango rum.
• 4 ounces of freezing Cruzan Vanilla rum.
• 1 teaspoon of Cointreau.
• 1 vanilla bean, cut lengthwise.
• 2 ounces of Naked orange juice. If you cant find Naked brand, please look harder.
• 2 tablespoons of heavy cream.
• 2 frozen mango spears.
• 2 large, very well chilled martini glasses.
• A pair of rubber flip flops.

The mix

• Kick off your shoes and put on the flip flops!
• Scrape the insides of the vanilla bean into a shaker that is 3/4 full of cracked ice.
• Into your shaker go all of the liquid ingredients except for the heavy cream.
• Shake like mad! Shake, shake, shake some more!
• Spoon the heavy cream into the shaker and swirl the shaker for about a minute.
• Strain your elixir into your martini glasses.
• Each glass gets a frozen mango spear.
• Give a toast to Gina and enjoy.
