Pok Pok Som Drinking Vinegar (Thai Basil, 1 Bottle)

If you want ginger in your diet, this is one good way to get it. Pour it on virtually anything! Not as astringent as red wine vinegar, or apple cider vinegar, and slightly sweeter.

I love Pok Pok Som drinking vinegars. This sampler pack was ordered as a gift. Their Asian leaning shrubs are quite excellent. I only wish they were not quite so sweet. I am fine with tasting the vinegar more.

I ordered it first because it was called for in a pro bartender’s promising nonalcoholic drink recipe and I have reordered it because I love it. I think it adds a great touch to bubbly things like seltzer, tonic and many other liquids that aren’t very sweet. It now has its own place in my flavoring cabinet.

These are from my favorite (but sadly now defunct) thai restaurant in Portland OR called Pok Pok. Mix with a citrus or berry flavored vodka + fizzy water and 1/2 oz of the vinegar (I like to combine the flavors for even more interesting flavor combos : berry+basil+ginger, etc. Will definitely be buying more, but they ARE very expensive if you're planning to entertain a lot of people (1 mini bottle only makes 8 drinks). Wish they had a lemongrass flavor.

Tastes surprisingly better than initially anticipated. I initially bought this to use as a mixer with cocktails, but after reading up on the health benefits of turmeric, I ended up taking about half an ounce daily. Now it's become a part of my morning routine.

Pok Pok is a Portland specialty item, and it was great to find a reasonable price on this favorite item. Looks expensive, but we use this concentrate with sparkling water or lemonade and it is incredibly refreshing and the bottles last awhile. Better than other drinking vinegars found at Whole Foods.

The bu berry flavor was a bit disappointing. Didn’t like the basil either. All other flavors were pretty tasty though.

didnt realize it was packed with sugar. i just wanted vinegar.it came quickly and I think it is a fine vinegar. its not what I wanted
