SONKLIN Original, straight from freezer • 50ml
Yuzu juice • 25ml
Khao Hom Nim Syrup • 12.5ml
Shiso leaf • 1
Garnish:
Shiso leaf powder (rim)
STEPS
1. Spritz the side of a nick and nora glass with water, dust with shiso leaf powder, and shake to remove the excess
2. Combine SONKLIN, yuzu juice, Khao Hom Nim Syrup, and shiso leaf in a shaker with ice
3. Shake, then strain into the prepared glass over cube ice
NOTES:
Khao Hom Nim Syrup: Toast 100g Khao Hom Nim (purple rice) in a medium-hot pan until the rice starts popping, stirring often to prevent scorching. Combine with equal parts sugar and water and let infuse overnight. Strain and bottle the next day.
Shiso Leaf Powder: Dry shiso leaf in a low-temperature oven or dehydrator until crispy. Grind in a mortar and pestle until reduced to a fine powder.
HISTORY
Northern Rice was created for West Eden Gallery's The Exquisite Silence exhibition, built around SONKLIN's Khao Niew Sanpatong rice character paired with yuzu, purple rice syrup, and shiso.
