Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see Guy use cilantro on the show, or hear it in his beginning description. The cilantro was right next to the pineapple juice on the show, but it was never thown in to be muddled. Oh well despite that difference, this was a very good drink. The cilantro added a new layer of depth that most drinks lack. However use it in moderation, and be sure to strain or pull the cilantro from the served portion. The ancho chili powder ended up reminding me of the dried fruits/lollipops covered with chili powder that I got in Mexico. The second time I made this I threw in some pineapple chunks to match the mango chunks. I think it the current measurements might need a little tweaking to fit my taste, but using fresh ingredients (no juices) will give very good results every time.
