1. To make the mango puree, place mango cubes in a blender or food processor. Add the lime juice, water, and sugar. Blend well. The purée should taste like thick mango juice. If you're using a semi-ripe mango or frozen mango, you may need to add more sugar. If you want your martinis to have a very smooth texture, strain the purée through a sieve.
2. To make the martinis, place vermouth, vodka, rum, 4 ounces mango purée and ice into a shaker and shake it up, or put ingredients into a blender and blend well.
3. Pour into a martini glass and garnish with a slice of lime.
