Sky Cocktail, part of Sky Bar’s Elements Cocktail Series – “The cocktail series represent flavors of each of the four classical elements (fire, air, earth and water) plus an additional: sky – an element that exists only at the glittering post-modern multi-hued bar in the slipstream between neon and stars. The five elements of the underlying principles of each cocktail to tease your palate with different flavors, textures & aromas.”

Most of you who know me, know how much I favor Bangkok, Thailand since my first visit in 1989 and my numerous returns. I enjoy the people, culture, hotels, and absolutely love the silk. I cannot think of a better place than the Sky Bar in the Tower Club at lebua to spend New Year’s Eve.

For the second year in a row, this will be the highest ball drop. You will have a front row seat, as the Bangkok Ball begins its descent of 872 feet. You will be watching the ball drop and the fireworks coming up at you.

The mixologists will work their magic with various Elements Cocktail Series and celebrated chefs will serve extraordinary cuisine. This combination provides an exceptional atmosphere to welcome in the New Year.

The Sky Cocktail is featured in the new Elements Cocktail Series. The drink will be served at Sky Bar atop the Tower Club at lebua for New Year’s Eve.

Sky Cocktail Recipe

Ingredients:

1 oz Plymouth gin

1 oz chocolate liqueur

2 oz  Aloe Vera

Pina Colada foam

.25 oz Simple Syrup

Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker over ice and shake vigorously. Rim martini class with Parmesan cheese on top, and strain in to drink. You are ready to toast in the New Year.

If I were going to ring in 2015 in this spectacular setting, I would certainly get a room reservation and spend the night. The Sky Bar is absolutely delightful. Nothing would be nicer than to have a lovely dinner in one of lebua’s fine restaurants, ring in the New Year at the Sky Bar, and retire to a comfy room. Sounds good to me!
