A Look at Rhodes’ Greek-Inspired Cocktails

A themed bar is only as good as its signature cocktails, as these defining craft creations reflect the bar’s commitment to creating an experience for their guests. Just as you’d expect an Irish pub to have a Guiness on draught, patrons expect any themed bar to garnish their experience with a set of beautiful craft cocktails. 

Enter Rhodes Bangkok, a Greek island-themed cocktail bar that serves Greek-inspired cocktails that actually deliver on their authentic promise. Tucked away up Sukhumvit 49, Rhodes transforms traditional Mediterranean flavors into unique drinks that Thong Lor’s cocktail scene was missing - no gimmicks, just authentic ingredients and artistic preparation. 

What Makes a Greek Cocktail Authentic?

Greek inspired cocktails draw from centuries of Mediterranean tradition. The most famous Greek alcohol is undoubtedly Ouzo, the anise-flavored national spirit. Mastiha liqueur, infused with mastic tree resin from Chios island, has pine-like aromatics and subtle sweetness. 

Modern Greek cocktails embrace Mediterranean botanicals: fresh herbs like mint and thyme, citrus from lemons, and honey's natural sweetness that ancient Greeks treasured. Then there are interpretations that incorporate pomegranate molasses for acidic punch and rose elements which reflect Greek island gardens.

These flavor profiles are complex and work together to create drinks that are simultaneously refreshing and flavorful. 

Rhodes' Signature Greek Cocktails

Rhodes Bangkok has designed its cocktails on these Greek flavors, here are the best cocktails to try from their signature menu.

Evil Eyes

The showstopper and truly an artistic display. Whiley Neil blueberry gin meets Bianco Vermouth and white Crème de Cacao, balanced with fresh lemon and butterscotch sweetness.

Blue spirulina powder creates that mesmerizing azure gradient while egg white adds a silky texture. The in-glass visual mirrors traditional Greek Mati charms, warding off negativity while delivering complex berry-botanical flavors.

To say this cocktail is Instagrammable is an understatement. 

Yassou

Meaning "Hello" in Greek, this cocktail greets with unexpected harmony. Umeshu plum meets tamarind in a blend of two sweet/sour flavors, while salted plum juice adds tangy complexity. Honey syrup rounds the edges before sparkling water lightens the finish. Each sip balances sweet, sour, and umami.

Mediterranean

Inspired by the sweet sea air of the Mediterranean, chamomile tequila anchors this botanical masterpiece with gentle herbal notes. Lavender honey adds floral sweetness while maraschino brings a depth of cherry. Fresh lime cuts through the richness and mint provides a cooling sensation. Crème de cassis delivers berry intensity before rose lemonade lightens everything with effervescent florals. 

It sounds complex, yet its balance is unmatched. This is a Mediterranean garden captured in a glass.

Rhodes Island

Named for the bar's inspiration, this cocktail showcases serious mixology. Sweet basil-infused gin provides herbal foundation while dry vermouth adds complexity. Campari brings bitter edge, absinthe offers anise notes, and strawberry syrup contributes fruity sweetness. Finally, the Greek yogurt wash and wild strawberry liqueur create a creamy, berry-forward finish that's uniquely sophisticated.

Aphrodite

The goddess of love deserves elegance, and Rhodes honors her appropriately. Premium vodka meets fresh lemon juice for a clean foundation while rose syrup adds floral notes. A final dash of Sparkling wine  accents the entire experience with bubbly lightness, much like Aphrodite herself.

Simple yet refined, it captures Greek mythology's grace in liquid form.
