Pho flavored cocktail
Upon hearing the name, many diners will wonder about the taste of this strange drink. The author is a bartender who used to work at a pho restaurant, so perhaps the rich, attractive flavor of pho broth was his inspiration when he started his career in cocktail making.

Mr. Pham Tien Tiep (author of the pho cocktail, currently working at the Metropole Hotel in Hanoi) said that the ingredients to make this drink include the same ingredients as when making pho broth such as cinnamon, star anise, cardamom. Then, the mixture will be poured into a stainless steel stick that he created himself and burned with gin and cointreau. Finally, he mixes lemon juice, sugar water, coriander with the above mixture and shakes well. The cocktail will be served with a plate of chili.
The aroma of the spices in the pho will make diners curious and eager to enjoy. At first, the drinker will be hesitant because of the characteristic spicy taste of the wine, mixed with cinnamon, star anise, cardamom and coriander, but will want to drink more and more. The aftertaste will linger in the mouth and nose.
Snail dipping sauce cocktail
In addition to pho broth, Tiep also created a very special cocktail, also inspired by Vietnamese cuisine. That is the snail dipping sauce cocktail. Ingredients to prepare include: lemongrass, ginger, chili, kumquat, fish sauce and a little lemon leaves.

The origin of this cocktail was when Pham Tien Tiep was asked to mix a cocktail with the taste of fish sauce but without the smell of fish sauce. By chance, while eating snails with friends, Tiep came up with the idea of creating a drink from this famous snail dipping sauce.
After many trials but not satisfied, the bartender finally decided to add a little egg white to create the most standard flavor, most similar to snail dipping sauce in the finished product. The ingredients ginger, lemongrass, chili, lemon leaves... were crushed with fish sauce and then shaken well with egg white, finally adding wine.
The cocktail has a fresh smell of lemongrass, sourness of lime, along with sweetness mixed with the salty taste of fish sauce. When drinking, diners can also feel a little bit of the richness of egg white, very attractive.
