Thai Vodka Recipe

Vodka: The base spirit for this cocktail, providing a smooth and neutral flavor.

Coconut milk: Adds a creamy texture and a hint of tropical flavor.

Lime juice: Freshly squeezed to provide a zesty and tangy balance.

Simple syrup: A sweetener made from sugar and water, balancing the tartness of the lime juice.

Chili: A slice for garnish, adding a spicy kick and visual appeal.

When shaking the cocktail shaker, make sure to use fresh ice to ensure the drink is properly chilled. This will help to blend the vodka, coconut milk, lime juice, and simple syrup more effectively, resulting in a smoother and more balanced cocktail.

• coconut milk - Substitute with almond milk: Almond milk offers a creamy texture and a slightly nutty flavor that pairs well with the other ingredients.

• coconut milk - Substitute with oat milk: Oat milk provides a smooth and creamy consistency, making it a suitable dairy-free alternative.

• freshly squeezed lime juice - Substitute with lemon juice: Lemon juice has a similar acidity and citrus flavor, making it a good replacement.

• freshly squeezed lime juice - Substitute with apple cider vinegar: Apple cider vinegar adds a tangy and slightly fruity note, though use sparingly as it is more potent.

• To store the Thai Vodka mixture, transfer any leftover cocktail into an airtight container or a glass bottle with a tight seal. This will help maintain its freshness and prevent any unwanted flavors from seeping in.
• Keep the container in the refrigerator. The vodka and coconut milk blend can be stored for up to 2 days. Beyond this period, the flavors may start to degrade.
• If you plan to prepare the mixture in advance, you can mix the vodka, lime juice, and simple syrup together and store them in the refrigerator. Add the coconut milk just before serving to ensure the best texture and flavor.
• For freezing, it’s best to avoid freezing the entire cocktail as the coconut milk may separate and become grainy upon thawing. Instead, you can freeze the vodka mixture without the coconut milk.
• Pour the vodka, lime juice, and simple syrup mixture into ice cube trays and freeze. Once frozen, transfer the cubes to a freezer-safe bag or container. These can be stored for up to 1 month.
• When ready to serve, simply blend the frozen cubes with fresh coconut milk in a cocktail shaker, shake well, and strain into a glass filled with ice.
• Always garnish with a fresh slice of chili just before serving to maintain its vibrant flavor and appearance.

• Pour the Thai Vodka Recipe into a small saucepan.
• Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally to maintain the consistency of the coconut milk and lime juice.

• Once warmed, pour back into a glass filled with fresh ice.
• Garnish with a fresh slice of chili to enhance the flavor.

Batch cocktails: Make a larger batch of the cocktail mix and store it in the fridge. Just shake with ice when ready to serve.

Chill your glass: Keep your glassware in the freezer so your drink stays colder longer.

Garnish prep: Slice your chili garnish in advance and store it in an airtight container.
