1. PREPARING THE GALANGAL & LEMONGRASS ICE TEA:

8. Garnish with pieces of lemongrass and lemon (to evoke the beach).

History

Shortly after a great trip to Thailand, I was missing the wonderful food, weather and drinks over there.

I threw a few ingredients together, added whatever alcohol was in the cupboard, had some kiwi fruit juice in the fridge and ended up with a cocktail that tasted like Thailand and looked exactly like the crystal waters of Ko Phi Phi Ley.

Curacao could be substituted for Absinth or Agwa if you're in the mood for a full moon party.

Bon Appétit!
