Dry January is done and dusted and viral angst ebbing. Time to go back to the bar? 

 

Silom cocktail lounge Vesper yesterday launched a new deal for early drinkers during its “aperitivo hours” 5pm until 8pm. 

 

For three hours, visitors can pick one aperitif from five choices. They are Pomelo Garibaldi (Campari, pomelo juice), The Original Venetian Spritz (Select aperitivo liqueur, prosecco DOCG, soda), Milano Torino (Campari, Punt e Mes), K.K. Negroni (Campari, Tanqueray London Dry, Cocchi Torino), and Strawberry Sbagliato (Strawberry Campari, Cocchi Rosa, Prosecco DOCG). 

 

With the drink, visitors will get three cicchetti Italian bites of a chef’s selection. The cost is B500 – just so you know this excludes VAT and service charge. 

 

Just two months ago, the award-winning bar recruited Milan-born mixologist Federico Balzarini, who previously worked at the Savoy Hotel’s American Bar in London, to take over. Balzarini replaced Supawit “Palm” Muttarattana, who left last year. 

 

Vesper is currently open 5pm onward every day on Convent Road, a short walk from BTS Sala Daeng and MRT Silom.
