Marketing to your minority demographic is tricky, but it’s important. And there have been several examples in recent months of what not to do. The Cocktail Bandits outline ways to positively engage multicultural audiences without appropriating their culture and explore positive ways to accomplish target marketing without offending the community.

Top Points: Value of the Minority Patron, Servicing Minority Guest, Growing Brand Awareness in Minority Communities, Being Proactive

Pour & Pair: Sherry

In the Lowcountry, there’s always time for barbecue. Smoked meats and grilled veggies are a large part of Southern cuisine. Since Jerez, the home of Sherry, is located in the southern region of Spain, we were feeling the southern connection.

Upon our initial sip of Palo Cortado, we notice subtle nutty and buttery notes, followed by a bright but dry finish. Perfect sips for a light afternoon lunch. We prepared our version of Southern BBQ chicken. We oven baked chicken wings in a homemade hot honey mustard sauce. The sweet and spicy sauce was complimented by a refreshing spring salad lightly dressed with a lemon vinaigrette. To accompany our light lunch, we sipped on chilled Palo Cortado Peninsula Dry Sherry.

Recipe Below:

Hot Honey Mustard Chicken Wings

6 chicken wings

Teaspoon of salt, pepper, curry, paprika, garlic powder

Tablespoon of Olive Oil

1 cup of Hot Honey Mustard sauce

Preheat over to 375. Season chicken with salt, pepper, curry, paprika, garlic powder. Add olive to baking dish, then place chicken. Baked for 35 minutes. Take chicken out of the oven. Flip the chicken over then pour hot honey mustard sauce over the chicken. Place baking dish back into the oven for 15 minutes. Let chicken rest for 3 minutes before serving.

Salad

2 cups of Mixed greens

1 cup of diced Roma tomatoes

1 cup of thinly sliced cucumber

1/2 of Chopped onion

Teaspoon of salt

Teaspoon of pepper

2 tbsp of Olive Oil

In a large bowl mix lettuce, tomatoes, onions and cucumber. Add salt, pepper and olive oil. Gently stir mixture. Chill until served.
