Ingredients You’ll Need
This recipe relies on a handful of fresh, summery ingredients that each bring their own magic—whether it’s color, sweetness, or just that unmistakable tropical punch. Every component is simple but essential for capturing the fun, layered look and the bold, fruity flavor of Raspberry Mango Daiquiris.
- Fresh raspberries: These pack a tart, deeply flavored punch and give the daiquiri its gorgeous red hue. Choose plump, ripe berries for the best results.
- Agave syrup: A natural sweetener that balances out the tang from the raspberries without overpowering them—plus, it dissolves beautifully in icy drinks.
- Lemon juice: Brightens both layers and provides necessary acidity for a refreshing, zippy finish. Freshly squeezed is always best!
- White rum: The spirit base for both daiquiris; opt for a good quality white rum for smooth, clean flavor.
- Ice: Essential for creating the classic frozen texture. The amount is just right for a slushy, sippable consistency in both layers.
- Fresh mango: Mango’s natural sweetness and vibrant yellow flesh make your daiquiri taste and look like pure sunshine. Choose ripe, juicy mango for an ultra-smooth blend.
- Mint sprigs: The essential garnish—adds a pop of green and a cooling aroma that complements the fruity flavors beautifully.
Variations
Part of the joy of Raspberry Mango Daiquiris is making them your own—it’s so easy to switch things up to fit your favorite flavors, dietary choices, or what’s in your fridge. Get creative and have fun mixing and matching!
- Make it a Mocktail: Skip the rum and add extra lemon juice and ice, or substitute with coconut water for a family-friendly, alcohol-free delight.
- Sugar Free: Replace agave with your favorite sugar alternative (like monk fruit syrup) or skip sweetener altogether for a tart twist with a healthy edge.
- Berry Swaps: Try using strawberries or blackberries instead of raspberries for a different berry note and color.
- Pineapple Mango: Alternate the raspberry layer with a pineapple-mango blend for an extra-tropical experience.
How to Make Raspberry Mango Daiquiris
Step 1: Blend the Raspberry Daiquiri
Add the raspberries, agave syrup, fresh lemon juice, white rum, and ice to your blender. Blend until completely smooth—don’t rush this step, as you want that icy, thick, almost sorbet-like texture. Pour the mixture into a pitcher and set aside while you move on to the next layer.
Step 2: Clean Your Blender & Prepare the Mango Daiquiri
Quickly rinse and dry the blender (this helps keep the layers separated and the colors vibrant). Add mango pieces, lemon juice, white rum, and ice; blend again until the mixture is silky and smooth, but just a bit more liquid than the raspberry layer for easy pouring.
Step 3: Layer & Pour
Carefully pour the raspberry daiquiri into each serving glass until about halfway full. For the magic layered effect, gently—and I mean very slowly—pour the mango daiquiri over the back of a spoon just above the raspberry layer. This helps keep the two layers from mixing!
Step 4: Garnish & Serve
Top each glass with a fresh mint sprig and serve your Raspberry Mango Daiquiris straight away. Just a few minutes of prep, and you’ve got a show-stopping cocktail ready to enjoy!
Pro Tips for Making Raspberry Mango Daiquiris
- Layer Like a Pro: Use the back of a spoon and pour slowly when layering the mango daiquiri—it’s the secret to keeping even, Instagram-worthy stripes.
- Customize Sweetness: Taste each layer before assembling; add a touch more agave to the raspberry or a squeeze of extra lemon to the mango if you want to tilt the balance.
- Chill Your Glasses: Pop your serving glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes beforehand for cocktails that stay frosty to the very last sip.
- Pick Ripe Fruit: For the brightest flavor, use fresh, ripe mangoes and juicy raspberries—frozen fruit works in a pinch but may need a little extra sweetener and ice adjustment.
How to Serve Raspberry Mango Daiquiris
Garnishes
To make your Raspberry Mango Daiquiris truly pop, finish them with sprigs of fresh mint, a few extra raspberries or diced mango on top, or even a twist of lemon zest for a zippy touch. Edible flowers or a cocktail pick threaded with fruit add instant party vibes!
Side Dishes
Pair these daiquiris with light appetizers—think crispy coconut shrimp, spicy mango salsa with tortilla chips, or even a platter of fresh fruit. They’re an ideal welcome drink for brunch, backyard BBQs, or any summery get-together.
Creative Ways to Present
Serve Raspberry Mango Daiquiris in tall hurricanes for dramatic stripes, in mason jars for a rustic picnic feel, or as mini shooters for cocktail parties. Swirl the layers with a skewer for marbled artistry, or serve “frosé-style” in wide-mouthed wine glasses for grown-up slushies!
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
If you find yourself with extra Raspberry Mango Daiquiris, just pour the mixtures into separate airtight containers and store in the fridge for up to 24 hours. The mixtures may separate—just give them a quick stir before serving again.
Freezing
Both layers can be frozen (separately) in freezer-safe bags. When ready to serve, let them soften for a few minutes, then re-blend for a fresh, frosty cocktail experience. This tip makes hosting a breeze!
Reheating
No reheating required for these daiquiris! If your frozen blend gets too hard, let it sit at room temp for just a few minutes and stir—it’ll be perfectly sippable all over again.
FAQs
-
Can I use frozen fruit for Raspberry Mango Daiquiris?
Absolutely! Frozen raspberries and mango not only work great, but they also help achieve that perfect icy texture without watering down the drink. Taste for sweetness and adjust agave or lemon as needed, since frozen fruit can sometimes be less sweet.
-
How do I keep the layers from blending together?
The key is to pour very slowly—ideally over the back of a spoon—when adding the mango layer over the raspberry. Make sure the mango daiquiri is slightly thinner (less icy) so it sits gently atop the denser raspberry layer without mixing.
-
Can I adjust the amount of rum?
Definitely! Feel free to use less rum for a lighter cocktail, or add an extra splash if you like yours a bit stronger. This recipe is super flexible, so make it just the way you love.
-
Is it possible to prep Raspberry Mango Daiquiris ahead for a party?
Yes—blend both layers in advance and keep them chilled or frozen in separate containers. When guests arrive, simply re-blend briefly if too firm, then layer and serve for instant cocktail magic!
Final Thoughts
If you’re ready to shake up your happy hour with something playful, bold, and bursting with flavor, Raspberry Mango Daiquiris are your ticket! Give them a try—you just might discover your new favorite way to sip into summer, one vibrant layer at a time.

Ingredients
Raspberry Daiquiri:
- 1/2 pound raspberries
- 1/4 cup agave syrup
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/3 cup white rum
- 1 1/2 cups ice
Mango Daiquiri:
- 1/2 pound mango
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/3 cup white rum
- 1 cup ice
Garnish:
- Mint sprigs
Instructions
- Prepare the raspberry daiquiri: Add all the ingredients to the glass of a blender and pulse until smooth. Pour into a pitcher and set aside.
- Wash and dry the blender and repeat the process with the mango daiquiri.
- Pour the raspberry daiquiri into a glass until ½ full. Very slowly pour the mango daiquiri on top.
- Repeat the process with the rest of the glasses and garnish with mint sprigs. Serve immediately.
Notes
- If you want to create the visual of the divided daiquiris you need to pour the mango daiquiri very slowly on top or they will mix. The mango daiquiri also has a little bit less ice to make it more liquid so it can sit on top of the thicker raspberry daiquiri.
- Feel free to adjust the sweetness to your desired level. The mango daiquiri doesn’t have any sugar/syrups added because mango is sweeter than raspberries.
