Cook tapioca pearls according to package directions. Once drained, stir in honey. Set aside.
In a blender or food processor, combine mango, orange juice and coconut milk. Pulse until puree forms. Next, add rum, ice and lime juice and blend again until mixture is even and frothy.
Scoop a couple of tablespoons (depending on how much boba you want in your drink) of the tapioca pearls into each glass. Pour orange-mango-coconut mixture over top.

- You can purchase the tapioca pearls and straws at any large Asian market, or order them online here (affiliate link).
- Boba is typically made with non-dairy creamer or sweetened, condensed milk, however I opted to make it a bit healthier and use coconut milk for this recipe.
