Hip Bartenders Shaking It Up At Singapore Cocktail Festival 2018
"Jamie Rhind, The Bamboo Bar, Bangkok Poison Of Choice: Tom Kai Gai. It is named after a famous Thai soup that is made with coconut milk, ginger, kaffir lime leaves and lemongrass. The soup has been deconstructed and revamped into a refreshing highball. Inspiration: “We want to take people around Thailand through cocktails. This cocktail is from the Central region called Ari, which has lots of markets that sell amazing street food. People from all over the world come to Thailand for its food, so it’s great to be able to bring it to other countries. For the Tom Kai Gai cocktail, we fat-wash tequila with coconut oil to grab its flavour and texture before shaking the mixture with lemongrass syrup, lime, kaffir lime leaves and coriander bitters. The cocktail is then topped up with ginger beer." - Kenneth Goh
