5. Pour the prepared mango-ginger smoothie into the glass and top with a #8 scoop (1/2 cup serving) of mango-turmeric sorbet.
6. Garnish each glass with a slice of candied ginger and a tamarind candy straw.
7. Pour 1 ounce of immunity boost beverage syrup over the sorbet to float on top of the smoothie.
