Served: with soda and ice, or in the Thai Buck with ginger ale and lime. Flavor: vanilla, caramel, ginger and spice — smooth and sweet-leaning. Strength: 35%. Culture: Mekhong anchors Thai celebrations; like its cousin SangSom, it is the taste of Thai nightlife for generations. See also: Sato, Ya Dong.
