Raising the bar in Phnom Penh - SilverKris

"A craft distillery located about 20 minutes from the city center run by founders Tania Unsworth and Marco Julià Eggert, known for gins that use Khmer basil, Battambang green oranges, Asian lime leaf and butterfly pea. Guests can tour production equipment, sip at the bar or enjoy The Mekong Journey tasting flight inspired by regional treats (including riffs on mango sticky rice and Vietnamese egg coffee), with notable cocktails such as a house espresso martini and a mango sticky rice serve. The operation emphasizes sustainability — from a spirits refill hub and recycling centre to a closed-circuit water system that can cut distillation water use by up to 95% — and fosters the local scene through initiatives like an annual cocktail competition called Mapping the Mekong." - Michelle JN Lim
