SMOKY ALCOHOLIC DRINKS RECIPES

Steps:

• In a heavy bottomed casserole dish over a medium heat, heat the oil. Add the sausages and cook for around seven to eight minutes, turning occasionally until browned all over. Transfer sausages to a plate and return pan to the heat. 
• Add the smoked pancetta lardons, and cook for two to three minutes, or until they begin to crisp up.
• Add the onions and cook for a further five minutes, until they begin to soften, then finally add the garlic and cook for another two minutes. 
• Pour the red wine into the pan and allow it to bubble for a couple of minutes, scraping any goodness from the bottom of the pan. 
• Add the chopped tomatoes, smoked paprika, tomato puree, chicken stock, Henderson’s relish, bay leaves, fennel seeds, honey and rosemary. Stir to combine.
• Add the sausages back into the pan and bring to a simmer. Loosely cover the pan and leave to simmer for 20 minutes.
• Stir in the cannellini beans and continue to cook for another 10 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
• Remove from heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.  Finally stir in the balsamic vinegar. Serve with warm crusty bread for mopping up all the tasty sauce.

Steps:

• Place 5 cups mango in a blender, reserving the remaining mango. Add the sugar, lime juice and 3/4 cup cold water to the blender, and blend on medium-high speed until puréed. Blend in tequila or rum, if using. Blend in additional water, adding 1/4 cup at a time, until mango mixture reaches the desired consistency.
• Chill mango mixture, covered, in refrigerator until ready to serve. For a colder mangonada, transfer mixture to the freezer until it reaches the consistency of a slushy.
• To serve, pour or scoop about 1/2 cup of mango mixture into each of four 16-ounce glasses. Add about 1/3 cup reserved mango to each glass, followed by 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons chamoy and a generous sprinkle of Tajín. Repeat with the remaining mango mixture, mango pieces, chamoy and a final sprinkling of Tajín on top. Garnish each glass with a tamarind candy straw, if using, and a spoon. Serve immediately.
