Perched on the picturesque Tubkaek Beach, the beachfront Kredkaew Bar has introduced an exciting new cocktail menu designed to captivate guests with its creative blends and local flavors. This fresh lineup offers a range of handcrafted drinks, perfect for those looking to relax and enjoy the stunnin sunset views over the Andaman Sea.
The menu’s standout is the Sang Aroon, a cocktail that reflects the vibrant essence of Thailand. Originally a mocktail, the Sang Aroon has now been transformed into a delightful cocktail with the addition of Thai rum. The drink combines palm sugar, coconut sugar, lemongrass, ginger syrup, pandanus juice, and ginger ale for a refreshing blend of sweetness and spice. The added Thai rum gives it a unique twist, offering a perfect balance that highlights the richness of local ingredients.
This cocktail’s smooth, layered flavors make it an ideal choice for both newcomers and seasoned cocktail enthusiasts alike. Another notable addition to the menu is the Suwanna Hong, which translates to “Golden Swan.” True to its name, this cocktail delivers a luxurious taste experience with a blend of Jim Beam, Amaretto, homemade cinnamon syrup, and orange juice. The Suwanna Hong’s richer, more viscous texture and its sweet notes make it a satisfying choice for those who enjoy deeper, more indulgent flavors. It’s a cocktail designed to be savored, slowly revealing its complexity with each sip.
For those seeking something a bit lighter, the Tiger’s Eye offers a refreshing and fruity option. Served in an elegant martini glass, this cocktail brings together vodka, Triple Sec, lime juice, fresh passionfruit, jasmine syrup, and a dash of Prosecco. The Tiger’s Eye strikes a delicate balance between sweetness and tartness, making it a popular choice for guests looking for something vibrant and crisp. Its light, floral notes and citrusy finish make it an easy favorite, especially as a refreshing treat in the tropical heat.
One of the most unique cocktails on the new menu is the Khao Niao Mamuang, a creative spin on Thailand’s iconic sticky rice and mango dessert. This innovative drink captures the essence of the traditional dish by blending Thai sugarcane rum, coconut cream, and fresh mango. The result is a smooth, creamy cocktail that delivers a true taste of Thailand with every sip. The Khao Niao Mamuang stands out for its playful nod to local cuisine, transforming a beloved dessert into a delightful cocktail experience.
Each drink on the new menu is crafted with care, using locally sourced fruits, herbs, and spices to bring authentic Thai flavors to life. The cocktails are not only inspired by the rich culinary traditions of the region but also by Thai literature and ancient Sanskrit, where stories of mythological figures have influenced the naming and concept of many drinks. This thoughtful approach ensures that each cocktail carries a sense of place and culture, making the drinking experience at Kredkaew Bar a memorable one.
Guests at the beachfront bar can enjoy these new cocktails daily from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., making it an ideal spot to unwind at any time of day.
