Ingredients

  • 1 small Caribbean papaya seeded, and chopped
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 cup crushed ice
  • 1 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 ounce agave nectar
  • 2 ounces light rum
  • 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

    Cup of Yum
  1. Blend papaya in a blender with water to make the puree.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
