Lightly crushing the lemongrass releases essential oils that lend a subtle lemon flavor to this cocktail. You can use the same stalk to stir several drinks.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    1 Servings

Ingredients

1 red or green Thai chile
2 oz. London dry gin
1 oz. Cocchi Americano
1 stalk lemongrass

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Make a lengthwise slit in chile, but do not cut all the way through (chile should remain intact). Rub the rim of a coupe glass with inside of chile and drop chile into glass.

    Step 2

    Lightly smash lemongrass with the back of a chef’s knife until split slightly and fragrant. Combine gin and Cocchi in a pint glass or cocktail shaker, fill with ice, and stir with lemongrass stalk until outside of glass is frosty, about 30 seconds. Remove lemongrass; discard. Strain drink into prepared glass with chile.
