Today we have a refreshing papaya cocktail recipe to share, with or without the alcohol it’s up to you. Either way, if you love papaya’s you’ll enjoy this refreshing drink, the colder the better.
Sparking wine or club soda, optional I like it without but my sister likes it with. You be the judge.
Lime wheel for garnish
Instructions
Blend papaya in a blender with water to make the puree.
In a cocktail shaker combine ice, 2 ounces of papaya puree, lime juice, agave nectar, and rum. This is for just one cocktail but you have enough papaya puree for about 12 cocktails.
Serve in a glass over ice. If you want to add some fizz, add a splash of sparking wine or club soda. Garnish with a lime wheel.
Notes
There are two major types of papayas: Mexican and Hawaiian but more papayas are being imported from other parts of the world. The one I love is the Caribbean Papaya. Papayas pack quite a punch with vitamins A & C and are also a great source of folate, potassium, and fiber. They’re not very pretty on the outside but are gorgeous inside.
