4.68 / 5
A twist on the classic Cosmopolitan, this is the signature drink of the Sky Bar in Bangkok. Located sixty three floors up (at 247 metres), the Sky Bar at Sirocco is out in the open and offers fantastic views across the city. Even the most hardened individuals often find themselves suffering from a bout of vertigo. An amazing bar, and an amazing drink to complement the surroundings.

Cocktail Colin says:

5/5

The Sky Bar Cosmopolitan elegantly combines the crisp bite of vodka with the zesty sweetness of orange liqueur and the tartness of cranberry and lime juices, rounded off with a hint of luxurious crème de cassis. This beverage not only dazzles with its deep, inviting color but also offers a perfectly balanced dance of sweetness, tartness, and a slight underlying berry richness that complements its high-altitude, exotic locale.
