We don’t mind admitting that we’re just a little bit obsessed with mangoes: The firm-yet-yielding sunshine yellow flesh; the distinctively sweet aroma; the flavor that says “Caribbean” with every mouthful … Which is why we can’t wait to try the Mango Maniac, the most popular cocktail at the Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands resort and villa community Oil Nut Bay. Because let’s face it: The only thing better than eating a mango is “drinking” one, spiked, of course, with rum.
