Listen Later

  • This episode, we’re celebrating Beltane also known as Walpurgisnacht or May Day, and for me, it’s always been the day I was born.

  • The CeLibation for this episode is a

    Frozen Mango Rum CeLibation

    For this CeLibation you need

    *3 cubes of frozen mango puree about 2-3 oz. 

    *Juice from ½ a lime

    *1 oz of rum

    *Sparkling water

    *Tajin

    Add the frozen mango puree, lime juice, rum, and sparkling water in a blender and blend until smooth, rim your glass with a lime wedge and dip in tajin and garnish with a lime wedge.

    If you want a mocktail celebration you can omit the rum and add 2 oz of orange or apple juice.
