Superdrinks: Mango Sunshine ft Taiao and Damien Burgess

Have you ever tasted something and immediately felt transported to another place? Whether through memories or impressions, there are flavors that tell the story of a place. And there are drinks that capture an atmosphere. Well, our new Superdrink, the Mango Sunshine, can take you to the beach—not a specific beach, but another dimension where your imagination is all beach and summer. Those summers of the past, warm at sunset, relaxing and soothing, where everything bursts with color, the air cradles you, and you slow down and dream. One dream after another.The Mango Sunshine is just like that, one layer after another.

Let’s make way for the third chapter of the Superdrinks series, born from our collaboration with Taiao, where coffee meets functional ingredients and superfoods to bring to life creations that go beyond the ordinary.

Ube: the purple superfood you don’t expect
Although it is probably the least known among the superfoods in our series, ube offers quite a few benefits: it is rich in vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. It is a type of purple yam native to the Philippines with an intense purplish hue. In traditional Filipino cuisine, it is used in both sweet and savory dishes.
In powder form, like the one used in this recipe from Taiao’s formula, ube becomes the base for a foam that visually dominates the drink.

The coffee that makes the difference
The over-ice coffee is the glue of the entire composition, especially in balancing the sweet, creamy flavors and the tropical notes of ube, mango, and coconut, creating a highly balanced flavor profile.

The recipe

In collaboration with Taiao
For a tall glass

Step 1: Peel and dice a fresh mango, then blend it until you get a velvety puree and pour it into the bottom of the glass.

Step 2: Fill the glass with crushed ice over the puree.

Step 3: Gently add the coconut milk, pouring it along the inside walls of the glass to preserve the layering.

Step 4: Brew the over-ice coffee directly into the glass, letting the coffee cascade through the layers to create a distinct visual effect.

Step 5: Combine the Taiao ube powder with soy milk in a siphon and whip until you achieve a soft foam, then gently lay it onto the surface of the drink.

Step 6: Top with a slice of dried mango. Serve immediately.
