What do you drink when you’re eating spicy food? Often the best (and safest) option is some run of the mill lager; the less flavoursome, the better — you can put your IPA’s down, beer geeks. But the guys at Long Chim Sydney know a thing or two about working with chilli heat, and their Tom-Kah Margarita is a Margarita variation you’ll want to drink.
Tequila? Check. Lime? Check. But add some Malibu — yes, it’s delicious in this drink — and some ginger flavoured drinking vinegar, and you’ve got yourself a drink you’ll keep coming back to, whether you’re eating or not.
Tom-Kah Margarita
Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker, shake for 8-10 seconds and fine strain over fresh ice into a rocks glass half rimmed with chili salt.
