If Season 3 of The White Lotus has taught us anything, it’s that paradise always comes with a plot twist—and your cocktail should too.
Whether you’re watching from the couch or hosting a themed dinner with friends who are secretly judging each other (just like a real White Lotus check-in), this Thai-inspired cocktail channels the creamy calm before the chaos.
Meet the Coconut Lemongrass Vodka Cooler
It’s light, tropical, and just mysterious enough to make you wonder what’s really in it.
What You’ll Need:
2 oz vodka (the kind Tanya would insist on by name)
1 oz coconut milk (creamy but not clingy)
0.5 oz fresh lime juice (subtle, not slap-you-in-the-face sour)
0.5 oz simple syrup
Dash of lemongrass extract or muddled lemongrass stalk
Crushed ice
Mint or Thai basil for garnish (because the garnish always looks innocent…)
How to Make It:
Muddle the lemongrass if using fresh—release that fragrance like a passive-aggressive side comment.
Shake everything with ice until chilled and frothy.
Strain into a lowball glass over crushed ice.
Garnish with mint or basil—bonus points for a dramatic flourish.
Serve it up:
On a breezy patio, surrounded by people you both love and low-key suspect.
