Thai Iced Tea & Craft Cocktails: Sip, Taste, Indulge at Lemongrass Bar

Sip · Taste · Indulge: The Lemongrass Bar Philosophy

At Lemongrass Seafood Bar & Grill in Moss Landing, CA, dining is only half the experience. Our full-service bar embodies our motto — Sip, Taste, Indulge — by offering a carefully curated collection of beverages that complement and elevate our authentic Thai cuisine. Whether you're starting your evening with a refreshing Thai-inspired cocktail, sipping a crisp white wine alongside our seafood platter, or cooling down with our legendary Thai iced tea between bites of spicy curry, our bar is designed to enhance every aspect of your dining journey. Our bartenders are trained in the art of Thai-Western flavor fusion, crafting drinks that mirror the same balance of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy that defines our kitchen's philosophy.

The bar at Lemongrass isn't an afterthought — it's an integral part of what makes us the best Thai dining experience in Moss Landing. From locally sourced California wines to imported Thai beers and our house-made cocktail infusions, every drink tells a story of coastal California meeting the vibrant spirit of Thailand. Our bar area provides a welcoming space for guests to begin their evening, enjoy happy hour specials, or simply unwind with friends after a day exploring the Monterey Bay coastline.

The Legendary Thai Iced Tea

No Thai dining experience is complete without a glass of our signature Thai iced tea. This iconic beverage is unlike anything you'll find at a coffee shop or bubble tea chain. At Lemongrass, we brew our Thai tea from a concentrated blend of Ceylon black tea leaves steeped with star anise, crushed tamarind seeds, and a touch of vanilla — creating a deeply aromatic, slightly spiced brew with a naturally orange hue. We then sweeten it with real condensed milk and pour it over crushed ice, creating those beautiful cascading layers that make Thai iced tea as visually stunning as it is delicious. The creamy sweetness and unique spice notes make it the perfect counterbalance to the bold flavors of our scratch-made curries and the vibrant heat of our wok-fired noodle dishes.

Thai-Inspired Craft Cocktails

Our cocktail program takes inspiration from the same ingredients that make our kitchen extraordinary. We infuse premium spirits with fresh lemongrass, Thai basil, kaffir lime, galangal, and tropical fruits to create unique drinks you won't find anywhere else along the California coast. Each cocktail is designed to complement specific dishes on our menu — our bartenders are happy to recommend the perfect pairing based on your dinner selection. Popular creations include our Lemongrass Mojito, Thai Basil Gimlet, and Coconut Ginger Martini — each one a refreshing journey into Thai-California fusion mixology.

Wine & Beer Selection

For wine enthusiasts, we offer a curated selection of California wines chosen specifically for their compatibility with Thai flavors. Aromatic whites like Riesling and Gewürztraminer pair beautifully with the complex spice profiles of our dishes, while light-bodied reds complement our grilled seafood and meat dishes. Our craft beer selection includes both local Monterey County breweries and imported Thai beers like Singha and Chang, giving you a complete range of options to accompany your meal. Whether you're enjoying a casual lunch special or a romantic dinner, our beverage program ensures the perfect drink is always within reach.
