Saluting the arrival of summer, salads & cocktails

Summer is almost upon us; meaning fresh salads and fruity cocktails are calling!

Here are our two of our favourite salad and cocktail recipes that taste beyond heavenly paired with our Red Boat Fish Sauce. If you’re into healthy, fresh and spicy flavours, you’ll love these Asian Salad and Bloody Mary recipes.

Bloody Mary

The Spicy Bloody Mary

If you’re a fan of strong, savoury cocktails, try replacing Worcester sauce in your Bloody Mary with Red Boat fish sauce for a richer, more rounded taste sensation.

  • Start with really good tomato juice and vodka

  • Stir in Red Boat Fish sauce and tabasco for a bit of heat

  • Squeeze a wedge of lime and drop it in

  • Add a little dry sherry on top

  • Add a celery stick and 4-5 salted pepper berries – take a crunch into the pepper berries for an ultimate taste explosion
