Our Take

Modern Thai Mixology at its Sharpest

Asia Today opened in 2019 with a clear thesis: Bangkok cocktail bars should champion Asian spirits and ingredients rather than imitate London or New York templates. The result is one of the most distinctive cocktail menus in Asia.

The drinks are built around Thai Mekhong whisky, Japanese shochu, Korean soju, Indonesian arak, and Asian fruits and herbs. The Mekhong Mule pairs Thai whisky with kaffir lime, ginger, and Thai basil. The Holy Basil Smash uses gin infused with horapa basil. The Mango Sticky Rice cocktail is a dessert in glass form.

The room is design-forward and small. Reserve. The bartenders are doing serious work and the prices are fair for the quality. Pair with Teens of Thailand in nearby Chinatown for a thematic Charoenkrung area cocktail evening.

What to Order
Mekhong Mule
Mekhong Thai whisky, kaffir lime, ginger, and Thai basil. The signature drink and the right first order.
Holy Basil Smash
Horapa basil-infused gin, lime, ginger syrup, and soda. Refreshing and uniquely Thai.
Mango Sticky Rice
Coconut washed rum, mango purée, Thai sticky rice syrup, lime. A dessert cocktail that works.
Lemongrass Negroni
Lemongrass infused gin, Campari, and house vermouth. The Asian Negroni done right.
