Ginger Lemongrass Cocktail

[cjsmith]

This is completely made up, therefore worth exactly what you paid for it. This is also delicious and it goes very well with rendang curry.

Ginger Lemongrass Thingy

3 tablespoons vodka
1 cube (approximately 3/4 tablespoon) lemon juice
1/2 tablespoon simple syrup
1/2 tablespoon Domaine Canton
1 teaspoon ginger juice (be a little generous here)
1/2 teaspoon lemongrass purée

Shake with ice, strain through fine strainer (such as a tea strainer) into a martini glass

I am soliciting clever names for this.

Thai One On?

I was hoping for something more Malaysian than Thai but hey! :) (Considered and discarded “Mai Malaysian”.)

Mai Lay?

[cjsmith]

Ooo. Sounds naughty... :)

[wcg]

That was intentional.

[cjsmith]

Two thumbs up!

you could call a rum-based version "the pirates of penang" (:

[cjsmith]

oh god :)

I tried putting "ginger and lemongrass" into Google Translate and apparently in Malay it's "halia den serai", which seems like an nicely catchy name even if not precisely "clever".

Unfortunately, "perkara halia den serai" is probably a little too long. "Perkara serai," perhaps?

Mmm, somehow “serai” sounds really nifty to me.
