Whisky-infused green tea

A touch of gentle sophistication is the only way I can describe this drink. Whisky is often a masculine drink and with the gentle intones of green tea’s flavour, it becomes a cool, graceful cocktail to accompany a spicy Thai meal. Also recommended as an introduction to whisky for first time whisky drinkers. Also good as an aperitif before a spicy meal.

You’ll Need:

. 1/4 can of green tea or make your own with a green tea bag and sugar to taste

. measure of whisky or around 40ml

Mix it in a brandy glass and add ice cubes. Serve in a brandy balloon glass.


Vodka-infused pineapple and mint juice

Aha! Caught your attention, didn’t I? First of all, for me, mint is always a great way to soothe burning tongues. Pineapple, well, a source of prickly flavours that literally tickles the tips of my tongue. Mix those two, a perfect way to forget that the small killer chillies often used in Thai dishes are numbing my senses most spectacularly. When vodka is added, what can I say, a great forget-it-all mix!

YOU’LL NEED:

. 2 thick slices of pineapples

. 4-5 mint leaves

. 1 measure of vodka or around 40ml

. a dash of sugar to taste

Blend the pineapple with the mint leaves and sugar, then add vodka and ice cubes. Serve in a martini glass.

Suggestion: Blend in ice cubes to create a smoothie.




Suggestion:

Besides whisky, brandy would also do the job quite well.
