I was presuming that this is "con un guiño", but as I posted, I took in the fact that you don't say that, but rather, suggest that this is the full menu entry. Correct me if I'm wrong!

Comment: "thanks Noni, and Marco I liked your "Twist" as it's zany, but I decided to be a coward and put something safe like "exotic succulent mango" which has masses of G-hits..."

I'm guessing "guiño" has to do with a light flavor of something. I think "twist" represents it well.
