About The Gangster’s Paradise Cocktail
“It was only a few years ago that I started to get to know the flavor profile and applications of turmeric in cocktails,” says Yael Vengroff, the beverage director of Spare Room in Los Angeles. “One day, I was playing around with the flavor triangle of carrot, turmeric and coconut and landed on the Gangster’s Paradise. I wound up not using coconut in the cocktail but used passion fruit and cream to create this spin on a Colada.”
This recipe originally appeared as part of “Healthy Drinking? These Turmeric Cocktails Might Be the Answer You’re After.”
