Coffee Negroni at Q&A (B390) 

Q&A bar sticks closely to the classic recipe of this timeless drink using equal portions gin, vermouth and Campari, but adds a twist by having the mixture brewed for six hours with Ethiopian coffee beans. It's a combination of two of our favorite things: the bittersweet taste of Camapri and warm coffee flavor that lingers on the palate. They occasionally have a special version made using cold brew from Roots, too.

The Great Grey at The Owl Society Whiskey Saloon (B360)

Ekkamai's new whiskey bar has Suchada “Fahbeer” Sopajaree (one of 2016’s 12 finalists at Diageo World Class Thailand Competition and previously behind Hugo Eatery & Bar) manning the bar. The Great Grey is the manliest choice out of her first set of three signature drinks. She uses Johnnie Walker Black Label as the base spirit, mixed with Cynar artichoke liqueur, port cherry and Patron XO Cafe. It’s a spirit-forward creation (think Negroni) comes with a nice coffee kick for aftertaste.

Jet Lagged at Evil Man Blues (B490)

72 Courtyard is the hottest place in nightlife right now. The newly opened Evil Man Blues is a top pick for cocktails. It's manned by new-in-town bartender Liam Baer, who came up with this coffee-based drink we’re now obsessed with. Served in a coupe glass with cold brew ice cube, Jet Lagged is a spirit-forward cocktail made with bourbon, coffee liqueur, sweet vermouth, black walnut bitters and Grand Marnier. It tastes as fancy as it sounds.

Chocogroni at Osito Unique Spanish (B250)

This is a great spot for gin enthusiasts. Martin Miller’s is the house pour, but the bar stocks another 50-plus bottles. Each is carefully selected for each cocktail, as in this cocoa negroni, which is based on Colombian Gin that's aged in rum barrels and carries a hint of vanilla. The negroni is made with sweet vermouth, white cacao syrup and cedar wood-infused Campari for a more smoky finish. It's garnished with orange and vanilla stick.

Dusk till Dawn at Backstage Cocktail Bar

Run by six leading bartenders from the Diageo World Class family, this theater-themed bar is undoubtedly one of the hottest new spots for craft cocktails. Here, you’ll find twists on vintage classics like the Manhattan and martini. This drink reminds us of Rob Roy (Scotch whiskey and sweet vermouth) but with the addition of Aperol and, of course, coffee. Stirred with ice and served on the rocks, the drink is garnished with orange and coffee beans.
