  • 1 oz. lemon juice
  • ½ oz. tarragon syrup

Pour the ingredients into an ice-filled cocktail shaker and shake to combine. Double-strain into an chilled cocktail coupe. Garnish with a wide lemon peel and a spring of tarragon.

To make tarragon syrup:
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup sugar
  • leaves from 5 tarragon sprigs (washed and dried)

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

For the Sauce:

  • ⅓ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 Tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 Tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • ½–1 teaspoon sriracha or chili garlic sauce (adjust to heat preference)
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Warm water, to thin as needed

For the Noodles:

  • 12 oz cooked soba, rice noodles, or spaghetti
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage
  • ½ cup chopped cucumber
  • ¼ cup chopped scallions
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro

To Garnish:

  • Crushed peanuts
  • Lime wedges
  • Extra sriracha
Instructions:
  • Make the Sauce: Whisk together all sauce ingredients in a bowl. Add warm water a tablespoon at a time until smooth and pourable.
  • Toss It Together: In a large bowl, combine noodles, veggies, and sauce. Toss until everything’s well coated.
  • Serve: Top with crushed peanuts, fresh cilantro, scallions, and a squeeze of lime.
  • Optional Add-Ins: Add grilled shrimp or tofu for extra protein.

The semi-dry style of the Dr. L Riesling balances the spice and saltiness of the sauce, while the crisp acidity cuts through the richness of the peanut butter. The wine’s subtle sweetness and minerality elevate the lime, ginger, and fresh herbs for a bright, satisfying pairing.
