Let's get into SUMMER now that the month of June is a day away!

Ingredients:

1 part mango rum
1 part pineapple rum
Splash of fresh squeezed orange juice
garnish with fruit slice

Add all ingredients into a shaker with ice.  Shake for 30 seconds and pour into a tall glass with ice.  Garnish with orange or pineapple slice.
