In a move to encourage a revival of tourism, Thailand has invented a new cocktail. The Siam sunrise is intended to rival other cocktails associated with countries and regions. The Singapore sling, mojitos from Cuba, Long Island mint tea and the copious volumes of Manhattans that are downed in New York every day.

Althought there is some confusion as to the name either Siam Sunrise or Siam Sunrays, has been chosen to suggest the exotic appeal of the country’s former name. That mysterious ‘golden land’ of long ago: a utopia in the turmoil of South East Asia.

Siam Sunrise is intended to give a flavour, a taste of the country and it excels here. Siam Sunrise is no weakling of a drink, it is robust and strapping just as Thais are themselves. The cocktail recently aired by the Tourism Authority of Thailand that has described it as "Thailand in a glass: the new punch in Thai Tourism". Well, come that as it may the drink stands up to any eponymous cocktail.
