A classic traditional trifle with a tropical twist, inspired by one the best summertime cocktails - The Tequila Sunrise. Pineapples and oranges, layered on a madira based soaked in Tequila and Grenadine, all fused with the best parts of a delicious trifle.

Method

Prepare your jellies, in individual bowls melt each set of jelly cubes in 1/4 pint hot water, when melted add in another 1/4 pint cold water. Leave to one side to cool.

Peel the oranges and loosen to segments.

Take pineapple rings and seperate the juice. Cut the rings into half.

Using the juice of the pineapples, combine with sugar and custard powder and simmer until thickened.

Take the Madeira cake and cut into small cubes.

Once all your elements are prepared, start to assemble your trifles.

Start by placing a few of the madira cubes in the base, drizzle over 1 tbsp of Grenadine and a shot of tequila. Pour over raspberry jelly until just covering the sponge cubes. Leave to slightly set.

Place the orange segments around the edge of the set jelly, pour in some of the orange jelly and then add 3/4 of a shot of triple sec. Again leave to set.

For the top tier arrange the pineapple around the edge, fill the center with your premade pineapple custard.

Finally prepare some dream topping (or fresh whipped cream), cover the top and decorate with a fresh cherry and an orange slice to garnish.
