I was in Bangkok last October for a work trip and I had this delicious mocktail drink at a mall food court of all places. I loved it and I’m trying to figure out how to make something as close as possible to it.

I know it had Sprite, as Coca Cola branding was on the stall and the cups. It looks like it had lemongrass and either basil or mint leaves. I’m not sure what else. It was very limey, refreshing, and despite having Sprite it didn’t taste nearly as sugary as a canned Sprite does.

I’ve attached some photos I found online of the drink. It’s the “Sprite Herb” drink in the menu.

Does anyone know if any recipes that would be similar or have any suggestions for how to create something like this?

Thanks!

I have a payment plan with the IRS. I owe around $25k, I've been paying $600 a month. I hit a really rough spot financially this spring and couldn't make payments. I called them in April, managed to get through to someone. She said the installment agreement would be likely be terminated but I could submit form 433d and set up a new one. She suggested I get it done as soon as I'm able to pay, ideally early June.

On May 11 I received a CP523, notice of intent to terminate the agreement and levy, demanding I pay $1200, due immediately. It gave me 30 days to respond. I've been trying to call the IRS daily ever since and I cannot get through. 95% of the time I get a recording saying that due to extremely high call volume they can't handle my call, and to try another day. The few times I've gotten through I've been put on hold for some reason or another (mostly checking into things) only to get disconnected. Then I call back and nobody can take the call.

I submitted the 433d using the document upload tool on the IRS web site. I've heard nothing in response. The 30 day mark is June 11, so this Thursday. I don't know what to do. I keep trying to call. I've heard nothing back. I'm worried they're going to try to seize my assets.

I got a bit desperate last week and pulled some money from my 401k to try to catch up, but the check won't arrive until Thursday according to the UPS tracking number. I'm wondering if I should even deposit it if they're just going to levy it. If they won't, I can deposit it, pay the $1200 and get back on track.

The inability to communicate with anyone there is what's really freaking me out here. I'm trying to get back on track and do the right thing but I'm just in the dark on what's going on. Any advice?
