BANGKOK CAPTAINS THE GIN SCRUMBLE: A 630‑Litre Negroni Breaks Record
How a Hotel Became the World’s Biggest Cocktail Champion
In a splash‑tastic headline that made the news sheets blush, Kimpton Maa‑Lai Bangkok pumped out the largest Negroni ever — a staggering 630 litres of this classic Italian mix. That’s enough booze to fill a small boat, if you ask them.
- Construction crew: 1.7‑m tall, 400‑kg acrylic container that looks like a giant ice cube.
- Ingredient storm: dozens of gin, vermouth, and Campari bottles rolled in like a cocktail parade.
- Record‑breaking moment: they smashed the previous 504‑litre mark set by Guinness.
- Next step: the full 630‑litre batch will be bottled and shared with the world in the coming months.
Imagine a bartender with the patience of a saint and the gusto of a rock‑star. They’ve poured more gin than most people can drink in their lifetime. The container? It’s heavier than a small car and grow taller than a toddler on a bike.
Who knew Bangkok’s hotel scene could turn into a giant cocktail escapade? Stay tuned for the first sip — spoiler alert, you’ll need a passport and a sense of adventure.
