Thai Me Up Brandy by Kim Romo of Biga on the Banks // Dorcol Distilling & Brewing Co

Biga on the Banks, a San Antonio Riverwalk staple, has established itself as one of the best fine dining restaurants in the city, and it’s no surprise that their bar program run by Kim Romo is on par, living up to the culinary standard set by Chef Bruce Auden and company.

So who is this Kim Romo, you ask? Well…

Kim hails from Seattle, prefers cocktails to beer or wine, wants to retire on a beach, and hates doing laundry. Plus…believe it or not, her religion professor at Columbia was Uma Thurman’s dad, so she’s practically famous.

She’s also the one responsible for the Thai Me Up Brandy, this year’s Brandy Alexander Tour creation. Thai chili sauce serves as the inspiration for this cocktail. “I wanted to play with a thai chili infusion and am really excited about how the cocktail came together. Light on the body with a slight hint of spice, “ said Romo.

Thai chili infused cream and hellfire bitters are the secret behind this spicy sipper. In case you’re feeling adventurous and want to recreate it at home, the full recipe is below.
