Toast To Paradise With These ‘The White Lotus’ Inspired Cocktails

Ketel One/Tanqueray Gin

I don’t know about you all, but I’m sooo excited to take a trip to the beautiful beaches of Thailand as part of season three of The White Lotus. I traveled to Phuket years ago and absolutely loved it. And now, Koh Samui, where The White Lotus was filmed, is absolutely on my list. But in the meantime, I’ll be cozied up to my TV this Sunday eagerly waiting for the season premiere of the dark comedy.

And since a White Lotus-inspired cocktail is a must for the big night, Ketel One Vodka and Tanqueray Gin have teamed up with Max and HBO to create a pair of speciality cocktails, along with limited-edition cocktail kits.

Both The White Lotus Punch and The White Lotus Vesper Martini cocktail kits can be purchased for $99.99 each on Cocktail Courier. In each kit, you’ll receive liquor, mixers, a jigger, cocktail glasses, ceramic white lotus coasters, a pink leather passport holder (cute!!), a Patrick Schwarzenegger note card, and a recipe card.

If you don’t want to purchase a kit, you can find the ingredients to The White Lotus Punch and The White Lotus Vesper Martini below.

The White Lotus premiere is scheduled to take place this Sunday, February 16, 2025, at 9 PM ET on HBO and MAX.
