With the COVID-19 situation, we're all encouraged to stay at home and avoid crowded places. While it proves essential to prevent its spread, that means a temporary cool-off with our favorite bars. However, like any other relationship, long-distance (can) also work! We got in touch with some of Bangkok’s best bartenders and they shared simple cocktail recipes that you can do at home—quick, easy, and just as good as the ones you’ll have on a good Friday night out.

Our criteria are two simple things. The cocktails should only require stirring and there would be no use of any shakers or the likes. This way, everyone can do it at home so long as all ingredients are available. Don’t have the ingredients? Don’t worry! We’re going to link websites where you can order the items you lack, too.

Once you’re good to go, let’s get mixing.
