From Little Red Door Paris and The Monte Cristo Hotel, globetrotting bartender Thomas Abd Ali is now shaking (and stirring) things up as Birdies’ new Beverage Manager. Alongside wine wizard Kimi Kiviranna and kitchen queen Chef Jennifer Evans, he’s serving the city a brand-new reason to raise a glass. His debut cocktail program is where Asia flirts with Europe and the results are anything but shy. Sip on green note (pandan, coconut, fig leaf in a lush aromatic mix), get a buzz from the stingless bee’s knees (sweetened with rare honey from Yala’s stingless bees) or keep it cool with appuntamento, a zero-proof amaro that channels Italian aperitivo vibes without the booze. This new chapter officially launched on September 11 and the cocktails are now ready for you to sip and savour. Consider it your invitation to drink across continents without leaving the capital.
Birdies Bangkok. Open Thursday-Sunday 11am-11.30pm, Monday 5-11.30pm, Wednesday 11 am-11.30pm. Tuesday closed
