Instructions:

In a blender, puree fresh mango until smooth. In a shaker, add the pureed mango, pineapple juice, coconut cream, and grenadine syrup. Fill the shaker with ice and shake for about 10 seconds. Strain the mixture into a hurricane glass filled with ice cubes. Top up the glass with club soda and stir gently. Garnish with a pineapple wedge and a maraschino cherry.

The Cheeky Deacons were motivated by our desire to showcase a combination of flavors that would evoke a sense of tropical warmth and exotic luxury, using ingredients that would provide both a sweet and fruity flavor profile, as well as a creamy and smooth mouthfeel.

Ingredients:

  • 1 oz turmeric syrup (recipe below)
  • 1 oz mango puree
  • 1 oz coconut cream
  • 1 oz orange juice
  • Dash of black pepper
  • Edible golden glitter

Instructions:

Fill two shot glasses with equal portions of the turmeric syrup and mango puree, creating two separate layers. Carefully pour the coconut cream on top of the mango puree, being careful not to disturb the other layers. Slowly pour the orange juice on top of the coconut cream, creating a swirl effect. Sprinkle a dash of black pepper on top of each shot. Finish by adding a pinch of edible golden glitter on top of each shot for added sparkle and elegance.

Inspired by the exotic flavors of tropical fruits and spices, this recipe combines the bright and sunny flavor of orange juice with the sweet and creamy flavor of coconut cream and mango puree. The turmeric syrup adds a touch of earthiness and warmth to the shot, while the black pepper adds a touch of heat and depth to the flavor profile.
