Thai ginger lime cooler
Alcoholic beverages
This drink is built around the bones of a traditional daiquiri, a classic cocktail composed of rum, lime juice, and sugar. The twist is a bouquet of Thai flavors: ginger, Thai basil, and (optionally) green chile pepper. I used a homemade ginger liqueur (see the recipe here: http://tinyurl.com/gingerliqueur), but you could substitute Domaine De Canton, a ginger liqueur made with cognac. This cocktail also works well as a punch (see second picture): chill a large amount of the infused rum, liqueur, and lime in proportion; add them to a punch bowl with a block of ice; top with club soda; and garnish with thin slices of lime and a handful of Thai basil leaves and flowers. Put out a small bowl of sliced jalapeños so that your guests can add them to their cups. However you serve the drink, be sure to squeeze the limes at the last possible moment.
