Banyan Tree Krabi’s Kredkaew Bar has announced a fresh array of cocktails.
The new menu was unveiled last week, following on from the new that Kredkaew Bar’s resident bartender, Dawadee Songprasert, affectionately known as “Dao”, recently won the Makro Thailand Creative Drink Challenge 2024, beating a host of mixologists from the southern Thai region.
Dao’s winning cocktail, the Sang Aroon, is a stirred blend of homemade palm sugar, coconut sugar, lemongrass, ginger syrup, pandanus juice, and ginger ale. She has now added the magic ingredient of Thai rum, resulting in a sweet lip-smacking finish.
Like this creation, all the new cocktails are infused with local fruits and herbs, and many of which take their names from Thai literature or ancient Sanskrit, where Hindi epics such as the Ramayana have passed down into Siamese folklore over hundreds of years.
The Suwanna Hong, meaning “Golden Swan”, is a more viscous but sweet mix of Jim Beam, Amaretto, homemade cinnamon syrup, and orange juice.
Served in a stemmed martini glass, the new Tiger’s Eye cocktail is a favourite that features a composition of Vodka, Triple Sec, lime juice, fresh passionfruit, jasmine syrup, and Prosecco.
The mixers and shakers at Kredkaew Bar have also redifined the classic Thair sticky rice and mango dessert into a cocktail, the Khao Niao Mamuang. This drink is a creamy combination of Thai sugarcane rum, coconut cream, and mango, making it a truly Thai sensation.
The Kredkaew Bar at Banyan Tree Krabi is open from 11am to 11pm daily.
