Special Cocktails from Our Expert Mixologist

Here are our three signature cocktails, each designed to take you on a journey through Nusantara’s cultural and natural heritage.

Banyan – Woody and Smoky, Perfect for Gentlemen

Inspired by the mighty banyan tree, a symbol of strength and interconnectedness in the Nusantara culture, the Banyan cocktail is a robust and earthy drink. Perfect for those who enjoy a deep, smoky flavor profile as well as complexity from exotic ingredients.

Banyan opens with the deep, rich warmth of bourbon whiskey and introduces an initial hit of smoky oak. Mesoyi wood offers an earthy, resinous quality that enhances the whiskey’s robustness. The mulled shiraz wine adds complexity, contributing a velvety layer of fruit and spice, while the vanilla adds smoothness and a hint of sweetness. Brem Bali liqueur, made from fermented rice, offers a nutty, slightly sweet undertone, blending harmoniously with aromatic bitters to complete the drink with a lingering, woody finish. The result is a cocktail wrapped in the scents of the forest that makes you feel like sitting under a banyan tree at dusk.

Java Spritz – A Herbaceous and Nutty Aperitif

Inspired by Java’s lush landscapes, Java Spritz is a refreshing and refreshing drink that blends the island’s lush vegetation with tropical flavor and nutty richness. This cocktail is the perfect aperitif to set the stage for a relaxed evening.

Java Spritz kicks off with the bold, bittersweet taste of Aperol, balancing the flavor of the cocktail with bright orange and herbal notes. Fresh betel leaves add a unique, earthy bitterness with a hint of peppery spice, while makrut lime leaves add salt and a zesty, citrusy flavor that complements the tropical acidity of calamansi, a small, tangy citrus fruit. The nutty sweetness of Orgeat (almond syrup) blends beautifully with the sparkling, refreshing prosecco, providing a smooth, creamy balance. Each sip is like wandering through a Javanese garden, with layers of herbaceous, nutty and citrus aromas.

Ken Dedes – Fragrant, Citrus and Aromatic

Inspired by legendary Javanese queen Ken Dedes, this cocktail exudes elegance and elegance like the historical figure herself. Ken Dedes is a fragrant, floral blend that is as appealing as it is refreshing; Ideal for those who prefer lighter, aromatic drinks.

Ken Dedes cocktail greets the palate with the lively, clean taste of Citroen vodka infused with citrus flavor. The citrus brightness is instantly softened by the sweet, nutty notes of loroso sherry, which add depth and complexity. The delicate scent of Java jasmine offers a soft, floral undertone, while lemon sorbet adds a delicious sweetness that elevates the drink with a refreshing burst of flavor. To finish, a light spritz of jasmine releases an aromatic floral scent into the air and gives the cocktail an ethereal, perfumed finish.
