FEATURED MIXOLOGY COCKTAILS

Son-Kin (The Clover Signature)

It is a mocktail created by the bartender of The Clover Hotel Chiangmai as a Signature menu item and has become one of the most popular choices among customers. The main ingredients are lychee juice, watermelon juice, lime juice, and rose syrup. It is an easy-to-drink menu, sweet, refreshing, with beautiful colors, and has a subtle hint of rose fragrance. This is the origin of the name 'Hidden Scent'.

Virgin Mojito

It is a non-alcoholic drink developed from the 'Mojito.' A classic Cuban cocktail since the 16th century, but with the rum (Bacardi rum) removed and soda used instead. Emphasizes freshness from lime, mint leaves, and brown cane sugar, popular as a health drink. And a party drink that everyone can enjoy, which is a popular beverage at bars and restaurants that serve non-alcoholic drinks. Easy to make, quick, and refreshing.

Virgin Pina Colada

The “Pina colada” originated in 1954 by a bartender at the Caribe Hilton hotel in Puerto Rico. Pineapple juice, coconut cream, and creamy rum were mixed together to create a sweet and refreshing drink. It was recognized as the national drink of Puerto Rico in 1978. The serving style can be either blended or shaken.

Fruit Punch

Has its roots in the punch drinks of the 17th century, which were imported from India to Europe, with fruit as the main ingredient to provide refreshment and to be enjoyed by all groups. It uses orange juice, pineapple juice, lemon juice, and pomegranate-flavored syrup as a base. Fruit Punch is considered a classic mocktail, popular to serve at parties or celebrations because it is easy to make, colorful, and deliciously refreshing.

Difficulty Level: Easy to Moderate

Highlights: Scenic cycling, Huay Tung Tao Reservoir, Buddha statues, King Kong sculptures, 700th Anniversary Sports Complex, local history, and outdoor recreation.

Enjoy a refreshing morning cycling adventure through some of Chiang Mai’s most scenic and historic landmarks.

The journey from The Clover Hotel to Huay Tung Tao Reservoir covers approximately 7.0 km. The first 4.7 km follows a dedicated bicycle path, offering a smooth and leisurely ride, before continuing along a quiet paved road with a few gentle, low-gradient hills.

Upon arrival, we will cycle the 3.7 km loop around the reservoir, surrounded by beautiful mountain views and tranquil countryside scenery. Along the way, we will stop to visit the impressive Buddha statues and the iconic King Kong sculptures, providing excellent opportunities for photos and relaxation.

On the return journey, we will explore the 700th Anniversary Sports Complex, a landmark built for the 1995 Southeast Asian Games. Home to eight sporting venues—including a football stadium, swimming and diving facilities, tennis courts, and more—the complex remains an important center for sports and recreation, with many facilities open to the public.

The complex commemorates the 700th anniversary of Chiang Mai’s founding by King Mangrai, founder of the Lan Na Kingdom, in approximately 1295. Throughout the tour, guests will enjoy a unique blend of nature, culture, history, and light exercise, making for a memorable Chiang Mai experience.

Bob Kieckhefer is a retired geophysicist who has called Chiang Mai home for more than a decade. An avid cyclist and explorer, he has traveled extensively throughout Thailand and neighboring countries by bicycle, combining his passion for adventure with a deep appreciation for the region’s landscapes and cultures.

Among his most remarkable journeys are a 5,000-kilometer ride from Hà Nội to Singapore and an 11,000-kilometer expedition from Cairo to Cape Town. These experiences have given him a wealth of stories and insights to share along the way.

When he is not cycling, Bob enjoys discussing the fascinating geology of Northern Thailand, offering guests a unique perspective on the natural history and formation of the region’s mountains, valleys, and landscapes.
