I’m still on a bit of a Thai kick. I’m, as you know by now, obsessed with Hot Toddy’s. I’ve experimented in the past with trying to add Thai flavors to my Toddy but now I’ve taken it to a whole new level. I was aiming for all the flavors (sweet, sour, spicy) to blend together with the whiskey. In the first batch I added in 1/8 teaspoon of Thai Red Chili paste. I loved the result but Kyle found it a little too earthy, so adding that is totally optional. If you are making the Thai Coconut soup you’ll have most of these ingredients on hand. You should definitely make this cocktail… is it Friday yet?
