This is a very smooth drink and best served chilled. Beware it can sneak up on you. It would be lovely served in hollowed out papaya skins or hollowed out green coconuts with a toothpick or a parasol holding a piece of mango a bit of papaya and a wedge of orange. If you cannot find unsweetened coconut use sweetened but cut back on the sugar. I have specified light rum in the recipe the computer would not accept amber either may be used. Could serve as a lovely Brunch drink

Ingredients:

6 ounces light rum or 8 ounces light rum, for the very brave

1/2 cup papaya, flesh cut into small pieces (the papaya is already seeded with skin removed)

1/2 cup mango pulp, cut into small pieces (rind is removed and only the flesh is used)

1/2 cup fresh orange juice (approx 1 orange)

1 1/2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated

2 tablespoons fine cut dried unsweetened coconut

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

2 tablespoons sugar or 2 tablespoons sugar substitute

1 1/4 cups cream or 1 1/4 cups milk

Directions:

1. Put all the ingredients into a blender or food processor and whiz on pulse and then high until you have a lovely smooth drink.
2. You may drink it now but I prefer it chilled for approx 1 hour.
