'Thai One On' With Cooking Channel's Alie & Georgia

STUDIO CIY (CBS) — Alie Ward and Georgia Hardstark are self-proclaimed dorks and best friends who, after posting their video for a jocular cocktail called The McNuggetini, went on to create more palatable beverages for both TV and the web. Their newest webseries, Classy Ladies With Alie & Georgia, is on CookingChanneltv.com, and they can also be seen on the upcoming season of Cooking Channel's Unique Sweets.

The dynamic duo stopped by KCAL9 Thursday to show us how to make their famous "Thai One On" cocktail!

INGREDIENTS:

2 ounces vodka
2 teaspoons Thai iced tea leaves*
2 ounces water
1 tablespoon simple syrup, or more to taste, (equal parts sugar and water cooked until sugar is dissolved, then the mixture cooled)
Ice, as needed 2 ounces evaporated milk
*Can be found at Asian supermarkets or online

DIRECTIONS:

- Infuse 2 teaspoons Thai iced tea overnight in 2 ounces vodka. (Or, make a larger batch by adding 6 tablespoons of loose tea per liter of vodka).
- Strain out the tea leaves, then pour 2 ounces tea and 1 tablespoon simple syrup in a shaker, along with 2 ounces water if a less potent drink is preferred.
