What inspired you to create the Hangovertini?
We got notice that they were going to shoot Hangover II here so we started thinking about a cocktail to promote the hotel. When the film crew arrived they would head up to the bar wanting something to refresh them after a long working day. We came with up something healthy which is why we use rosemary infused honey and green apple juice which has a lot of vitamin C. A kind of after hangover drink to purify your body.

Apart from the Hangovertini, do you have other cocktails that use Thai ingredients?
Customers often ask for a spicy drink as we’re in Thailand so, for example, we have gin with chili and Tabasco—that’s nice and spicy. For someone who isn’t so big on spices, we have vodka infused with chili and ginger which gives you a good aroma but less heat.

What other cocktails best represent Thainess?
I would say using a lot of Thai ingredients to create a drink like lemongrass, ginger and chili. But Thainess is not just using spices but also seasonal fruits like pink grapefruit juice, pomegranate syrup, mangosteen or even guava. Vasachol Quadri
