What drink to orderThe best way to get into the Longsong spirit is to hit the list of Thai-inspired cocktails. An excellent primer is the Soi 75, a punchy combination of tequila, prosecco, galangal, lime and coriander with a rim of chilli salt – a comprehensive riff on the sweet, spicy, salty and sour balancing act of Thai food. Also go for the Puttin’ on the Spritz, a refreshing fizzer of Tanqueray gin, St Germain elderflower liqueur, apple juice and prosecco, or lean into a dark and moody blend of rye, Italy’s bittersweet amaro liqueur, Thai tea and pandan in the Tea-licious. There’s no shame asking for the classics, or heading to the short beer list featuring the likes of Tiger on tap, Hop Nation and Temple Brewing. The wine list comes packing a round-the-globe ticket and is weighted in favour of those aromatic whites and lighter reds that go well with spicy food.
