Thai Daiquiri Recipe

Inspired by Pangea Kitchen
Time10m
Serves1

Perhaps the most photogenic of all hand-crafted drinks is the daiquiri, and it was our mission at Pangea to make it much, much better. The Thai Daiquiri is a Pangea Kitchen original created by former bartender, Neal Kandel. Don’t let this drink’s simplistic construction fool you, this one has layers. I start by infusing peanuts with our Plantation rum for three days, much like the Benedict Cucumberbatch. When the time is up, I add ginger and Thai chilis to enhance that flavor and give your taste buds a spicy kick. This drink also includes lime juice, our house-made simple syrup, and is topped with a dainty basil leaf.

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Infuse the Rum

    In a clean jar, add the peanuts to the Plantation rum. Seal the jar tightly and let it infuse for three days at room temperature, shaking it gently each day to mix the flavors.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Drink

    After the rum has infused, strain the rum through a fine-mesh strainer to remove the peanuts. In a shaker, combine the infused rum, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, minced fresh ginger, and chopped Thai chilies.

  3. 3

    Shake and Serve

    Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. Strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass.

  4. 4

    Garnish

    Garnish the drink with a fresh basil leaf placed delicately on top.
