With more people than ever before choosing a soft drink when dining out and the nationwide Dry January campaign growing in popularity, award-winning Thai street food restaurant Thaikhun is asking customers to create their most original, flavoursome and inventive mocktail to win an exclusive Thaikhun Orange Card.

A Thaikhun Orange Card entitles the holder to TWO free meals up to the value of £70 every time they dine at Thaikhun for a whole year. It is usually only available to anyone nominated as a ‘local hero’ for their community efforts or challenges they have overcome.

The competition winner will be one of the first in the country join the Orange Card club and will having their winning mocktail placed on menus throughout February. £1 from every sale will go towards the Thai Children’s Trust supporting orphans, refugees, disadvantaged children and vulnerable women in Thailand.

Entrants will be judged by the restaurant’s mixologists for flavour, originality and creativity, with the top two put up to a public vote to decide the ultimate winner.

“With the launch of our sought-after Orange Card and offering diners 40% off their bill when booking in advance throughout this month, we’re determined to help people beat the January blues!” says Thaikhun managing director Ian Leigh.

Inspired by street food found in Thailand, Thaikhun was conceived by Kim Kaewkraikhot, a former street hawker from a town two hours north of Bangkok. Its menu – food and drink – takes inspiration from her original stalls in the heart of the country’s bustling street food markets with each designed to recreate a traditional Thai street scene. The vibrant décor incorporates bric-a-brac, a tuk-tuk and specially selected artefacts, all imported from Thailand to create a memorable dining experience.

To enter the competition, submit your mocktail recipe along with a photo or video of your creation and why you think your drink should be the winning tipple to www.thaikhun.co.uk by 20 January 2017.
