Antz cocktail:
Vijay’s infamous Antz cocktail, creeping slowly but surely onto the global cocktail map, is a blend of foraged local Weaver ants, soursop, homemade coconut yoghurt, salt baked tapioca, and Chalong Bay rum; topped with a housemade basil meringue, on a basil leaf, sprinkled with imported Thai ants (flash frozen with liquid nitrogen).
The unexpected use of tapioca gives the drink a body and texture, and the local Weaver ants (containing ascorbic acid) lend a sour, almost citric flavour to round up the taste. complemented with the sharp taste of basil, the Antz cocktail is a pleasant surprise!
