In one memorable infusion, GREEN CHILLI & LIME are steeped to bring out sweet citrus oils and sharp peppery flavors, while in another, star anise, orange zest, and cinnamon blend teases the taste buds with a mélange of tangy and spicy characters reminiscent of CHINESE 5 SPICE. In an infusion named ISLAND BLEND, a collection of Bali’s classic botanicals is brought together in a wonderful aromatic infusion with highly complex spice notes.
Guests are invited to enjoy the gin infusions in a 40ml-shot or in a tasting set of three infusions of choice. Fifteen selections of infusions are available in addition to Gin and Tonic pairings and signature cocktails. The more adventurous cocktail enthusiasts might opt for the experimental signature cocktails: contemporary spins on traditional cocktails that blend tropical fruits, botanicals, homemade syrups and other liquors in unique creations.
SUMMER BREEZE mixes vanilla-infused gin with raspberries, sweet vermouth and homemade cinnamon syrup, complementing the sweetness of vermouth with warm vanilla and tart raspberries.
