Top Cocktails to Enjoy on a June Night Out

Bangkok’s trendiest bars are not just places to grab a drink – they are hotbeds of creativity and craftsmanship, where mixologists are pushing the boundaries of cocktail making. From original creations to reinvented classics, these bars are offering patrons a unique and unforgettable drinking experience.

One such bar making waves in the Bangkok nightlife scene is #FindTheLockerRoom in Thong Lor. Known for their Time Capsule cocktails inspired by the pop culture of the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s, the bar has recently added nine new drinks to their menu, focusing on the 90’s, 2000’s, and 2010’s. One standout is ‘Just The Tips’, a refreshing mix of cold brew coffee and botanical gin with blueberry cordial, lemon, cranberry, and jasmine tonic. For those looking for a more adventurous option, ‘Restless Palate’ offers a unique blend of whisky-infused longan and ginger, amaretto, herb-flavoured liqueur, matcha, and lychee sorbet, topped with assorted treats. And for a moody twist, try ‘Angst of a Generation’, a mix of scotch whisky, dark creme de cacao, prosecco, and a Pocky snack disguised as a cigarette.

Moving on to Nova Social Club at W District’s Cielo Sky Bar, patrons can enjoy signature cocktails arranged in six “atmospheric” tiers. The ‘Himalayan Cloud’ combines grape brandy, vermouth-infused butterfly pea, cherry and peach liqueur, lemon, and Himalayan salt for a subtly salty yet refreshing taste. Another standout is the ‘Kilonova’, which comes in two glasses – hot and cold – highlighting its ingredients of gin, sake, pandan vermouth, and genmaicha. And for a chilly treat, try the ‘Winter of Meteor’, a mix of vodka-infused chamomile tea, tamarind cordial, and lime, served with crispy rice paper and ice mint caviar.

For those looking for a more glamorous experience, Rogues Bar at the InterContinental Bangkok Sukhumvit is the place to be. Hidden on the second floor, this bar offers classic cocktails with a twist. The ‘Rogues Negroni’ adds Thai rice spirit for a stronger yet sweeter aftertaste, while ‘I’m In The Mood For Love’ features creme de fruits liqueur, lychee juice, raspberry syrup, absinthe, and lime juice for a zesty kick. And for a truly luxurious experience, try the ‘Ultimate Rogues Old Fashioned’, a contemporary take on the classic with two kinds of single malt whisky, chocolate bitters, and sugar syrup.

Lastly, Bar Scofflaws in Ekkamai has updated their cocktail selection with a new seasonal menu inspired by seven shades of color. The ‘Garth Bee’ offers a sweet-and-sour mix of saffron gin, thyme, guava soaked plum, honey cordial, and saline solution, while the ‘Scarlet’ packs a spicy punch with chili and olives gin, balanced by strawberry, butter orange vermouth, white grape wine, cherry, and oolong tea. And for a visually stunning option, try the ‘Indigo’, a richly blue beverage blending honey toast matcha, pistachio, cream cheese, and blueberry wine.
