In India, where temperatures regularly hit three figures, cooling beverages are a must. Enter the lassi, a yogurt-based drink that’s akin to a smoothie. My favorite version features mango puree — or, in a pinch, mango sorbet or sherbet-paired with thick Greek-style yogurt and a snow shower of crushed coconut water ice. If you’re making a Hoochie Coochie Man, you’ll want to correct it with a little cannabis-infused light rum. Try infusing your rum with Critical Kush, a mostly-Indica strain. It has deep aromatics of Asian spices, freshly turned soil, and a concentrated pungency that’s the right contrast for the sweetness of the mango and the yogurt. And there’s enlightenment in each sip. (This strain of Kush is a powerful full-body relax- ant, though, so no driving or bicycle riding allowed!) Top off your Hoochie with a couple drops of Creole bitters, which were originally invented as a remedy for dysentery:
Recipe:
3 oz mango puree
4 oz greek yogurt
1 oz cannabis-infused light rum
1 cup crushed coconut water ice
Creole-style bitters
Combine all ingredients in blender and process until smooth. Divide between 2 Burgundy wine glasses with plenty of finely-crushed coconut water ice.
Dot each with a couple drops of the Creole bitters.
Serves 2.
