Celebrity Inspiration: Tiger Woods

Many may recognize Tiger Woods as the best American golfer, but not too many people know that he was named after a soldier that saved his father's life in Vietnam. What would the world be without Woods? Certainly the Thai-ger Woods wouldn't exist, an elixir that pays tribute to his Thai heritage and his long, straight drives. Served at Manhattan's Faces & Names Lounge & Bar, the ginger-infused drink can make anyone feel like a star athlete without being one.

Ingredients
2 1/3 Shots Mekhong-The Spirit of Thailand
1/2 Shot Fresh squeezed lime juice
Ginger Beer (or Ginger Ale)
1 Dash of Angostura Bitters
3 Golf ball-size lime wheels

Directions
Pour Mekhong and lime juice into a long tall Collins Glass. Add ice and lime wheels. Cover with a shaker tin and shake briefly. Top off with ginger beer and add bitters. Serve with a straw.
