Mango Cocktail attempt #3

This is my third attempt at a mango cocktail, that is full and rich of mango flavor.
The first utilized Absolut Mango vodka, which I find to have a definitive mango aroma, but a bit acrid and bitter aftertaste, that is not totally disagreeable.
My second attempt used that vodka in combination with Trader Vic's mango rum, a very sweet and fruit-aroma forward rum, in conjunction with lime juice and tripe sec.
Tonight, the wife came home with a bag of Goya brand Mango pulp, and it seemed a good enough reason to have another go at it.

2 oz. Trader Vic's Mango Rum
2 oz. Absolut Mango vodka
1 oz. fresh squeezed lime juice
1 oz. triple sec
2 oz. Goya frozen mango pulp

Shake all ingredients until mango pulp is dissolved and then shake again with ice. Fine strain and serve straight up.
