The guys behind the counter at The Savory Project like to put an original spin on concoctions with names to befuddle readers—Thai Beef Salad (it’s a drink), Papaya Fire (again, not the ripe fruit set alight, but an actual drink), and Pepper Corn. You get the gist; ingredients include charred corn husk, cumin, peppers, tomato, mezcal, and even a dash of MSG. And no, it’s not a soup. Trust us.
Bear witness to how the clever clogs are making their potions in this exclusive Robb Report Hong Kong video. Co-founders Jay Khan (and Ajit Gurung) present, with surprising ingredients, thirst traps of a different kind. In this video, learn how to make the Gari Gari, a Scotch-based tipple inspired by the gari, a thinly sliced Japanese pickled ginger that generally served with sushi.
Gari Gari
- Passion fruit
- Japanese whiskey
- Ponzu
- Malic acid
- Soda water
- Gari
Add all ingredients to a tall glass, add ice, and garnish with a slice of gari (pickled ginger). Its presentation is slick, and the taste is everything.
