Next Station, Siam
Base spirit: Johnnie Walker Gold Label Reserve
This cocktail (may remind tipplers of a Negroni) celebrates the intriguing complexity of Thai flavors through the use of local herbs and flowers. Johnnie Walker Gold Label Reserve, praised for layers of vibrant tropical fruits, and an aroma reminiscent of honeyed oats and vanilla, is mixed with both red and white vermouth, jasmine syrup and kaffir lime leaves-infused Campari for a light and well-balanced drink.
Not a Stray Dog
Base spirit: Copper Dog Blended Malt
A twist on the classic cocktail Salty Dog, Not A Stray Dog ditches the typical vodka or gin, for Copper Dog blended malt, which is then mixed with grapefruit syrup and soda. A blend of eight single malt whiskies from the Speyside, the region in Scotland lauded for its exceptional single malts, Copper Dog boasts an exquisite flavor profile that reflects its roots and contributes to the vibrant character of the drink.
A Stroll Through Lumpini Park
Base spirit: Tanqueray London Dry Gin
Lumpini Park, one of inner Bangkok’s green enclaves, offers a relaxing experience through lush greenery and well-paved pathways. A Stroll through Lumpini Park looks to deliver the cocktail counterpart by offering a soothing mix of crisp Tanqueray gin, fragrant white vermouth, chamomile tea and flower blossom syrup.
Sunset in Bangkok
Base spirit: Ketel One Vodka
Watching the sun dip behind the city’s skyscrapers, from the vantage point of Bangkok’s many rooftop bars, is a pleasant experience that’s recommended prior to commencing a fun night-out. Served in a copper mug, Sunset in Bangkok is the result of shaking together Ketel One Vodka, Triple Sec, pomegranate juice, wild berry syrup and lime juice.
