Hey... this is my first post but had to reply to this one as i have been making and selling this for over a year now - inspired by a cocktail i tried at the sadly now defunct Che in london (thai collins - with coriander syrup) ok so i made fresh coriander fresh lime juice - approx 1/2 - 5/8 a lime 12.5ml gomme syrup 50 ml bombay sapphire gin (important to use a really light gin here as otherwise the juniper gets in the way - but the coriander in the drink is matched by coriander in the botanicals in the gin) 50ml fiery ginger beer 1 large red chilli, holes scored into sides with knife make this up like a standard mojito - muddle the coriander, add lime, sugar gin, churn, fill with ice, stir and top with ginger beer finally use the chilli as stirrer - the heat from the chilli will slowly leach into the drink giving a very slight warmth (think hint of spice not bloody mary!) which counters the slight sweet edge... selling simply as the thai mojito but could do with a better name - sadly the literary aspect of cocktail mixing always eludes me! any name suggestions?
