"THE ART OF MAKING COCKTAILS IS CONSTANTLY BEING REINVENTED"
The creativity and mystery element of mixology together with the beauty of Ho Chi Minh city constantly inspire our creative mixologists! For each of the team members, the city is a chaotic whirl full of contrast that breathes life and vitality to those that visit, and their mixology creations embody the spirit of Vietnam. The art of making cocktails is enormously rich. We offer cocktails from pre-Prohibition times like the Singapore Sling and Martini, and contemporary creations like our Espresso Martini with our Vietnamese coffee. We enjoy using local resources: mango wine, Dalat raspberries, vanilla syrup. For instance, our bloody Mary contains… fish sauce. The cocktail we share with you above is part of the sour family, elegant and twisted Vietnamese style, thanks to kumquats. We also have local rosemary that is extremely flavorful, but yours will do!
