Here’s a suggestion for how to start the evening: ask the Thai mixologist, Addy, to whip you up a “Burma Strawberry.” At first, this strawberry and chili infused vodka cocktail is sweet and refreshing. It then turns punishing, with a kick
that’s strong enough to surprise but is just shy of overdone. Not for the faint of heart—or stomach—it ranks alongside Gekko’s “Horse’s Neck” as best cocktail in Yangon. Blind Tiger owner Sophie Barry was a camerawoman for much of March 2015
