Cool refreshing Thai Sapphire



Thai Sapphire – Inamo Restaurant, originally uploaded by Caroline.

This has been my favourite cocktail the last two years. It’s called a Thai Sapphire and I first had it at Inamo restaurant in London. Because I love you long time, I’m sharing the recipe with you.

2 measures of vodka
1 measure of lychee liqueur
1 measure of apricot liqueur
the juice of half a lime
a dash of pomegranite juice
a quarter of an apple, finely diced

optional: some slices of apple, or one or two lychees

Muddle the apple in a shaker. ( = crush it with a spoon or pestle) Add the rest of the ingredients and shake with some ice cubes. Pour over crushed ice. Top off with the pomegranite juice. Decorate with apple or lychee.

The original recipe calls for (Dutch) Ketel vodka, but I’ve been using Smirnoff Black, or plain old Absolut. The best lychee liqueur I’ve found is Bols. Don’t get the cheap stuff from your Chinese supermarket, it’s pretty vile.

Enjoy!
