The Northeast’s Best Cocktails in a MICHELIN Restaurant in 2025

"Opened five years ago by Chompon “Boong” Boonnak and his team, this Brookline dining staple was built around a ran lao experience—“a place to hang with good food and good drink” for “a great time with friends and family.” Classic cocktails form the base, then get a Thai twist using fun, seasonal ingredients like pomelo, with contributions from the kitchen that often repurpose leftovers. A favorite is the Mahaniyom Sazerac made with rye‑infused Thai tea; you get the Thai tea aroma with the punch of a Sazerac, and pairing it with yum som‑o (pomelo salad) that’s a little sour, spicy, and pungent is the best. Other highlights include pineapple pandan and a virgin‑style strawberry pandan mojito. In 2025, Boong earned the MICHELIN Guide Northeast Cities Exceptional Cocktails Award, presented in partnership with Tokaj." - The MICHELIN Guide
