Gauguin's Cure from 1534
Could the right combination of gin, mango, and allspice liqueur have cured Gauguin? Perhaps. Can this bright yellow beauty save you from gray sky blues? Absolutely.
Notes:To make demerara syrup, heat 1 cup demerara sugar with 1 cup water stirring constantly until sugar dissolves. Let cool before using. Mango puree can be found in some freezer sections. For homemade mango puree, peel, chop, and blend mango flesh in a blender until smooth. No straining required.
