MEX & FAMOUS: a cocktail with mango, lime and a touch of spice

Sanz Cocktails ·

Some flavours have been working together for years. Mango and spice are one of those combinations.

In cooking, it is a well-established pairing and, when it moves into a cocktail shaker, it makes just as much sense. Mango brings body and fruitiness, lime keeps the mix fresh, and ginger adds that spicy note that gives the cocktail more depth.

Then comes the heat. It does not hit immediately, nor does it take over the whole drink. It arrives at the end, leaving a pleasant aftertaste that invites you to take the next sip.

 

 

 

Ingredients

Garnish

Sanz Garnish dehydrated lime.
Margarita salt rim.

Method

Add all the ingredients to a shaker filled with ice and shake for a few seconds. Double strain and serve in a glass prepared with the salted rim. Finish with a slice of dehydrated lime.

The balance is in the proportions

The recipe is not designed for the spice to be the main character. Its role is to extend the flavour and give the mango another dimension.

The lime provides the acidity needed to keep the cocktail light, while the Ginger & Chilli Syrup introduces a warm note that gradually develops. The result evolves as you enjoy the drink.

There are four main ingredients, and each one has a very clear role.

A recipe created by Anabel

MEX & FAMOUS was created by Anabel, in collaboration with Tess Mamiyoyoand the team at Can Lume Ibiza.

A combination designed for those who enjoy discovering different flavours without compromising balance. Fruit, citrus, spices and heat in just the right measure, allowing each element to shine without overpowering the others.
