  • 1 1/2 shots fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 3/4 shots simple sugar syrup
  • finger pinch of sweet Thai basil

  1. Pour Mekhong and the rest of the ingredients except club soda into a mixing glass.
  2. Add ice and shake vigorously for 7-8 seconds.
  3. Strain into a chilled martini-cocktail glass.
  4. Top off with club soda.
