Zero - mum’s the word, Thai fighter, smoked strawberry old fashioned
Mum’s the Word is made with chrysanthemum tea, star anise, fig, watermelon juice, lime zest. It is a redo, delicious and refreshing with flowery notes.
Thai fighter probably gets it’s name from the spicy bite from the Thai chili. My favorite is the kaffir lime leaves which really give it a wonderful flavor. Lemongrass, coriander, and somehow sesame seeds made it even more Thai. Fresh pineapple juice, lime juice and grapefruit juice make it perfect. We would like to have it while sitting on the beach. It’s high fragrant notes “cologne smell” are delicious.
Smoked strawberry old fashioned was not liked by all, but I did like it. The smokiness comes from making a lapsang souchong tea. A little mint tea to go with the homemade strawberry syrup, and a good amount of the favorite Seedlip spice 94. This English distillate of botanicals is very fragrant and of course alcohol free.
Thai peanut sauce was not very good. I will not make it again.
