With the desire to surprise and delight adventurers of unusual flavors, I present to you my “Golden Specials”, a selection of delicious dishes, a dessert, and three refreshing beverages with a stellar ingredient that brightens my heart: gold. They will be available from August 1st to September 30th at my two homes: Cancun and Playa del Carmen.
The journey begins with the delightful Tortellini Inchiostro, made with squid ink and adorned with an embedded gold leaf. Upon the first bite, a crab filling with mascarpone cheese and asparagus is pleasantly revealed, which rests on a sweet corn cream and a tomato-butter drizzle.
The next destination is the Lemon Saffron Risotto, whose brilliance lies in a squid ink sauce and parsley-sautéed calamari. Each bite is elevated to greatness with the touch of a gold leaf, a celestial stroke that brings this delicious creation to life.
The climax of this journey is the most enchanting dessert: the Golden Egg. Inside a soft vanilla sponge cake hides a pistachio cream, covered with a dusting of gold powder. This sweet treasure rests on a nest of delicate and sweet pasta that delights the senses.
To refresh this beautiful moment, enjoy three authentic beverages that are sure to captivate you.
We begin with Treasure Trove: a treasure chest full of sensations. Bushmills 10 whiskey, coffee liqueur, and coconut cream merge in a perfect dance, while the golden dust adds a magical and charming touch.
As the second option, try my Cherry Gold Dust, with the intensity of Creyente Cristalino mezcal and the sweetness of Aperol, accompanied by notes of strawberry, orange juice, and a golden cherry.
Last but not least, you can’t miss my Gold Sunrise, like a golden dawn on your palate. Dobel 50 tequila, along with pineapple juice, yellow lemon juice, vanilla syrup, and mint, will take you on a refreshing journey.
I await you with open arms and the Golden Specials to make your most exquisite culinary dreams come true! Remember that they will be available from August 1st to September 30th in Cancun and Playa del Carmen.
