Greed Bank of Mixology

Tucked behind Arnoma Grand Bangkok’s Laoteng restaurant is Greed, a “Bank of Mixology”-themed space—think gold bars, checks, the whole thirty feet.

Highlights include “009 Greed,” a spirit made with single malt Scotch whiskey, rosewater, sakura-fortified wine, and garnished with a sprinkling of truffle salt, as well as the “018 Baungarten” made with bourbon, syrup spiced poached pear, white vermouth and a light touch of lemon.
