From the bartender’s corner – Ko Adang

Picked up this recipe from Mr. Boston Drinks. But I cannot find the history behind the name. Sounds very Thai origin. I think Ko Adang is the bigger island next to the Ko Lipe island in Thailand that has the famous Pattaya beach.

Very tropical is its ingredients, this has two kind of rums – Anejo rum and Coconut rum along with lime juice, mango juice, coconut water and ginger liqueur.

From the bartender’s corner – Coconut Vodka Cocktail

Like I mentioned yesterday, I am still experimenting with the coconut water Sharmila has bought. Today, I picked up a recipe from Trisha Yearwood from Food Network.

The original recipe called for ginger, but I went with a mix of ginger-garlic. Not because I had a sudden revelation but simply because that is the paste Sharmila had. Apparently, we are fresh out of ginger. In retrospect, it actually came out really well…

I used aa spoonful of lime juice, two ounces of vodka (Titos), two ounces of coconut water, a spoonful of agave nectar and a dash of ginger-garlic paste.

Was great – both to the nose and the palate. And the tiny bits of ginger-garlic floating in the cocktail as an emulsion gave it a nice look.
