Well, the summer heat is in full swing and it's time for another great drink! I love a good virgin piña colada, but this time I was thinking outside the box so I swapped pineapples for mangoes, and threw a splash of lime in there to create this fabulous Mango Colada Mocktail!
Creamy vanilla ice cream with a hint of cinnamon and plenty of finely crushed crunchy peanut brittle, this ice cream turned out even better than I imagined it would when I first had the idea.
