Origin

The Kaffir Lime Gin Fizz emerged from the fusion of Western cocktail culture with authentic Thai flavors, particularly the distinctive aroma of kaffir lime leaves—a staple in many Thai dishes. Crafted at a modern bar emphasizing local ingredients, this cocktail highlights traditional Thai botanicals in a contemporary form.

Appearance and Taste

This drink has a delicate, sparkling clarity with a golden-yellow tint tinged with green. It delivers a sharp, invigorating aroma from fresh kaffir lime leaves, balanced by a bold tartness from fresh lime juice, a subtle bitterness from the gin, and just enough sweetness from sugar. The effervescence enhances its refreshing quality when sipped.

Fresh kaffir lime juice 40 ml
Granulated sugar 1 teaspoon
Soda water foam 100 ml
3 fresh kaffir lime leaves (thinly sliced)
