Kevin Diedrich of Pacific Cocktail Haven in San Francisco had always wanted to create a Thai tea cocktail. "I've always loved the flavors of Thai tea: floral, nutty, and then the presentation of having cream sinking through it," he says. For his Tuk Tuk Tea, he combines a split base of scotch and Cognac with the unsweetened tea and a touch of Islay scotch for smokiness. For richness and texture, he then sweetens with a rich honey syrup.
