Thai cuisine aficionado Andy Ricker aims to replicate his southeastern Thai dining experiences with the Salted Plum Vodka Collins, an alcoholic twist on an existing Thai drink template. The saltiness of the plum combined with citrus results in a complex, thirst-quenching cocktail capable of holding its own when paired with food.
