Raspberry Lime Rickey

Good Drink! I just used water instead of club soda and it made a nice little tea type thing. or alex thought it was like crystal light or something.
12 oz. package frozen raspberries
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup water
4 teaspoons grated zest and 1/2 cup juice from 4 limes (It took 4 limes to get the 1/2 cup juice but I only used the zest from 3 limes – it was plenty)
Club soda, chilled
Ice
Heat raspberries, sugar, and water in a saucepan over medium heat until the raspberries begin to release their juices, about five minutes. Mash the berries with a potato masher until the berries break down, then stir in the lime zest and juice. Simmer until the mixture is slightly thickened, about five minutes.
Pour the raspberry mixture through a fine-mesh strainer set over a bowl, pressing on solids to extract the liquid. This works best done in batches so the seeds don’t clog up the bottom of the mesh strainer. You should end up with about 2 1/2 cups syrup. Discard the berry solids. Refrigerate the syrup until completely cool, at least 30 minutes or up to 1 week. To serve, combine 3/4 cup club soda and 3 tablespoons syrup in tall, ice-filled glasses.

Nam Thok - Waterfall

Picture is not mine but looks similar to how yours should.
I got it from tickythaiandtucker
All Ingredients are approximate


  • London Broil Round Steak or some type of thick steak
  • salt
  • 2t Fish Sauce
  • 1/3 C fresh squeezed lime juice
  • 1/4 C shallots cut to strips
  • 2 T green onion
  • 1 T mint
  • 2 T cilantro
  • 2 T “Cow Coo Uh” - Phonetic spelling .Ground up uncooked sticky rice.
  • Water to maintain sauce
  • sugar & Salt to  Taste
  • ground chili powder from Asian Market
  • BEST SERVED WITH  THAI STICKY RICE (link)


    Pat down the steak with a good crust of salt. The steak should be moderately thick and able to handle a lot of salt. BBQ it to medium rare, then cut into thin strips. (Again, think stir fry).

    In a pot start with lime juice, fish sauce, water and salt. Add meat to finish cooking (from medium rare to medium well/well) add other ingredients making a soupy stir fry. Serve over sticky rice. By the way, be careful with the chili powder as it will add heat!
