Masala Soda



In India two things you will find in every corner of the country. 1. Street Food, and 2. Masala Soda. Masala soda is basically soda with some spices. There are many versions of masala soda you will get it from the venders but most common is with lemon, ginger, cumin powder, mint, and rock salt. Here I am making the same but with twist in it. It's Adults only masala soda with splash of vodka with hint of thai chili. It's a great fusion cocktail. Make sure to remove all the seeds from the thai chili. One can use sparkling water instead of club soda as well.


You will need :-

Club Soda
Vodka
Simple Sugar syrup or 1 tsp of Sugar 
Himalayan Pink Salt or Black Salt
Cumin Powder
Fresh Ginger
Thai Chili (Must remove all the seeds from inside and use smallest chili or use small piece of chili)
Fresh Mint leaves
Fresh Lime Juice



1. In mortar & pestle first lightly pound chili and ginger,


2. next add mint leaves, cumin powder, and salt,


3. Make coarsely ground paste.


4. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, add paste in it.


5. Next squeeze fresh lime in it.


6. Pour 2-3 tbsp sugar syrup



7. Next pour splash of vodka



8. Close the lid of shaker and shake vigorously.
