Experience a tropical transformation with the AKA Mango Sticky Rice, a decadent and inventive sipper inspired by the classic Thai dessert. This creamy, balanced cocktail features the rich, nuanced notes of VDC American Single Malt Whiskey, perfectly complemented by the exotic sweetness of pandan-infused coconut milk and bright mango syrup. A subtle touch of saline elevates the complex flavor profile, creating a surprisingly refreshing and sophisticated take on a whiskey cocktail. It’s a sweet, silky journey to the tropics in a glass.
Prep Measure all ingredients precisely: 1.5 oz VDC American Single Malt Whiskey, 1.5 oz pandan-infused coconut milk, 0.75 oz mango syrup, 0.25 oz fresh lemon juice, and two drops of saline solution. Have your rocks glass and large ice cube ready.
Mix Combine all measured liquid ingredients (whiskey, coconut milk, mango syrup, lemon juice, and saline) directly into a cocktail shaker.
Shake Fill the shaker three-quarters full with fresh ice. Seal the shaker tightly and shake vigorously for approximately 15-20 seconds until the exterior is well-chilled and frosty, ensuring proper chilling and emulsification of the creamy ingredients.
Serve Place a large, clear ice cube into the prepared rocks glass. Double-strain the contents of the shaker into the glass over the ice.
Garnish Complete the experience by adding a single pandan leaf to the glass as a fragrant, aromatic, and visual final touch.
