Recipe: Strand Sour cocktail

Just as Raffles in Singapore has the world renown Singapore Sling, The Strand Yangon’s Strand Sour is a cocktail that has become synonymous with the hotel’s colonial grandeur. Originally mixed by the bartenders at The Strand in 1968, the refreshing mix of local Mandalay rum, lime juice and Angostura bitters is the perfect long cool refreshing drink to combat the heat of the day.
