Sabai Sabai
Sabai Sabai is a sweet and sour co*cktail that is a classic Thai favorite, made with Thai basil leaves and Mekhong, a unique Thai spirit. I love it for its unique mix of sweet and tart flavors that make each sip enjoyable. If you’re looking for something light and refreshing, this is the perfect drink to try.
Spicy Thai Chile Paloma
This spicy twist on the classic Paloma co*cktail will make you want to return for more. With a spicy kick from the tequila reposado and Thai chili peppers, along with a hint of sourness from the grapefruit juice, the Spicy Thai Chile Paloma will make an impression. It’s great for a summer day or evening when you want something that packs a punch.
Spicy Thai Basil Cucumber co*cktail
This unique blend of cucumber, Thai basil, white rum, banana pepper, and fresh jalapenos is a perfect option for the adventurous co*cktail lover. The perfect balance of sweetness and spice makes this co*cktail a great choice when you want something that stands out.
Pod Thai
Pod Thai is a fun and fruity co*cktail that is a combination of vodka, Thai basil-infused simple syrup, lime juice, and soda water. It’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser with its sweet and refreshing taste. This co*cktail is excellent for sipping on a hot summer day due to the revitalizing lime.
Thai Coco co*cktail
Thai Coco is one of my favorite Thai-inspired co*cktails because of the unique combination of chocolatey, warm flavors balanced perfectly to create a smooth and creamy co*cktail that will make your taste buds sing. I love adding in an interesting blend of spices, such as cinnamon and nutmeg, that set it apart from the rest of the Thai co*cktails on this list.
Thai Basil Gimlet
The classic Gimlet co*cktail is given a Thai twist with the addition of Thai basil syrup and lime juice. The result is an incredibly refreshing drink that makes regular Gimlets look boring (sorry to all the Gimlet lovers out there)! It’s perfect for those warm summer nights when you need something special to sip on. Plus, the bright color of the Thai basil syrup just adds to its appeal.
Thai Margarita
This Thai-inspired margarita is a dreamy combination of tequila with lemongrass, galangal, and other Thai ingredients. I like to top mine with a sprinkle of chili flakes and fresh cilantro. This co*cktail is sure to be the hit of your next gathering.
Lemongrass and Thai Basil Mojito
This lemongrass and Thai basil mojito is a light and sweet drink that will make you feel like you’re drinking in paradise. The combination of lemongrass, basil, and lime juice provides a unique flavor that is both refreshing and energizing.
Tom Yum Martini
Tom Yum was one of my favorite dishes when I traveled to Thailand last year, so I was excited when I found this Tom Yum Martini recipe! It’s an excellent choice when you’re looking for a co*cktail that can simultaneously quench your thirst and halt your hunger!
Thai Style Bourbon and Ginger co*cktail
The Thai Style Bourbon and Ginger co*cktail is a delightful mix of tart lime juice, sweet agave nectar, bold bourbon, and spicy ginger. It’s the perfect drink for anyone looking to experience a unique twist on an old classic. It pairs wonderfully with spicy Thai cuisine and is a fantastic way to cool down on hot summer days.
Thai Lemongrass Margarita
The Thai Lemongrass Margarita is a delicious and refreshing twist on the traditional margarita. The combination of lemongrass and agave nectar brings out a unique flavor that will leave you wanting more. It’s a wonderful summertime drink that is sure to please both crowds and individuals alike. The perfect balance of sweet, tart and spicy make this co*cktail a must-have for hot days!
My Thai
My Thai is a fun spin on the well-loved Mai Tai. It’s a blend of dark rum, orange liqueur, and lime juice with a hint of Thai chili peppers. This co*cktail is perfect for those looking for something spicy and unique. The combination of flavors will tantalize your taste buds and leave you wanting more! Plus, the chili peppers add an extra kick that will make you smile.
Thai One On
Thai One On is an easy-to-make co*cktail that incorporates lemongrass vodka and other unique ingredients. This slightly savory beverage will tantalize your taste buds and keep them guessing. This is a great drink to enjoy on its own or with a side of Thai-style snacks.
Bangkok G&T
Gin and Tonics are hard to resist, and this Bangkok G&T is even harder to put down! I love the bright, crisp flavor of this co*cktail. It’s perfect for aperitifs and hot days when you need something refreshing to cool off with.
Thai-style Mojito
This Thai-style mojito is a wonderfully refreshing twist on the classic minty beverage. The addition of lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, and palm sugar elevates it to another level of flavor. I love how the Thai flavors blend together with the traditional ingredients to create a unique and delicious drink. It’s excellent for sipping on a hot summer day or sharing with friends over dinner.
Thai-Inspired Vodka co*cktail
Sometimes all you need is a simple co*cktail, and the Thai Inspired Vodka co*cktail is just simple enough to appeal to you on a lazy Sunday but just interesting enough to keep you wanting more. Plus, sipping on it is a fantastic way to celebrate life and enjoy the unique flavors of Thailand, with ingredients like Thai basil leaf, kaffir lime leaf, and red Thai chili.
