A sample of our cocktails:

The Governor's Smile Cocktail
The Governor's Smile is a refreshing non alcoholic cocktail - sit back, relax and enjoy this fragrant tropical Myanmar fruit juice whilst relaxing on the pool side deck or the garden of The Residence.

This cocktail drink is made out of 30cl of freshly squeezed orange mixed with another 1cl of fresh lime juice. To spice the citrus juice add a full soup spoon of Myanmar honey (or honey from your home area), stir and add half of a fresh egg white to balance the acidity. Blend in a processor for a short for 10 to 15 seconds and serve the drink chilled in a tulip shape glass, decorated with a twisted slice of orange.  

The Governor's Residence Tropical Lemongrass Juice
Our Tropical Lemongrass Juice is a very refreshing juice made out of Burmese lemon grass, tropical green lime and sugar cane syrup. 

To make your own cut the lower part of the lemongrass into small fragments, around 500 gm, and keep the stick leaves for presentation. Then crush the cut lemon grass until it is a smooth texture and marinate it in 3 litres of hot water and let it infuse for 8 hours. Strain the juice and mix it with the fresh lime juice and the sugar cane syrup (2cl of each) and chill. Finally, serve fresh in a tulip shape tumbler glass garnished with the remaining lemongrass sticks and slices of green lime and enjoy!

This drink can also be served warm with honey and lime juice.
