The new Origin Bar cocktail concept for year 2025 is launched as a concept-driven collection that offers guests a fresh perspective on flavour, creativity, and storytelling.
This new ‘Point of View’ menu serves as a continuation of the five-star hotel bar’s curious journey of flavour discovery, presenting its unique take on mixology through three distinct time frames:
- Reimagined – A modern interpretation of classic cocktails, breathing new life into timeless inspirations.
- New Era – A reflection of today’s world, addressing contemporary challenges through thoughtful and innovative creations.
- Boundless – A limitless exploration of imagination, pushing the boundaries of mixology with unconventional and daring compositions.
K Popaloma cocktail
Highlights of the Menu include:
Saz-air-ak (Absinthe Air, Peach, Lemon Oils, Michter’s Rye Whiskey, Bitters)
Under the Reimagined time frame, Origin Bar reinterprets the classic Sazerac by shifting focus to an often-overlooked element – absinthe. Traditionally a supporting note, absinthe takes centre stage in this innovative creation, presented as a delicate absinthe air that enhances the bold character of rye whiskey.
Complemented by lemon oleo saccharum, peach, and bitters, this reimagined cocktail offers a fresh perspective on a timeless classic, bringing new depth and complexity to every sip.
No Offense (Popcorn, Apricot, Origin Pimento, Orientalist Imperial Rum)
Under the New Era time frame, this cocktail challenges the notion of sensitivity in modern times with a bold and unapologetic approach.
Designed to provoke conversation, it dares guests to embrace its audacious character. A rich blend of popcorn-infused dark rum is stirred down with a house-made pimento dram—featuring candied ginger, allspice, lime zest, and apricot, delivering a striking depth of flavour.
Presented with an intentionally provocative serve, this cocktail is more than just a drink, it’s a statement.
Jumper cocktail, Origin bar
Jumper (Pistachio, Cocoa Butter, Cream, Matcha, Volcan Tequila)
Under the Reimagined time frame, this cocktail transcends borders, drawing inspiration from the classic Grasshopper while weaving together flavours from across the globe.
A rich fusion of cocoa butter-infused tequila, vanilla, pistachios, and matcha blends seamlessly with velvety heavy cream and a touch of fernet, creating a decadent yet balanced experience.
A true journey in a glass, this reinvention transforms a beloved classic into an elevated, worldly indulgence.
Zero to Hero (Hazelnut, Maple, Toasted Milk, Apple, Monkey Shoulder Whisky)
Under the Boundless time frame, this cocktail embodies transformation – just as a tiny acorn grows into a towering tree, a single drop evolves into layers of rich, complex flavours.
Inspired by the resilience of nature within the urban landscape, this clarified milk punch brings together maple, hazelnut, apples, and blended whisky, all refined through toasted milk for a silky-smooth finish.
A tribute to growth, depth, and limitless creativity, this cocktail is a true expression of “BOUNDLESS.”
Ants and Bees (Iichiko Saiten, Burnt Honey, Vanilla, Verjus, Amazonian Ants Chocolate)
Under the Boundless time frame, this cocktail draws inspiration from nature’s most meticulous workers – the bees and the ants. Their dedication and precision are reflected in a delicate balance
of flavours, featuring caramelised honey infused with vanilla, paired with the refined smoothness of Japanese shochu.
White verjus, an unfermented juice from pressed unripe grapes, adds a crisp, natural acidity. Served alongside high-cocoa chocolate topped with lemon-infused ants, this creation is a tribute to craftsmanship, complexity, and the boundless possibilities of flavour.
With 18 bespoke cocktails and 5 mocktails, ‘Point of View’ serves as both a legacy and a creative canvas, bringing to life a vision that is at once fresh, different, and exhilarating, yet easy to understand.
It isn’t just a menu, it’s a declaration,” explains Adam, the visionary behind its creation. “We view flavours, ingredients, and concepts through a unique lens, and this menu serves as our invitation for guests to step into that world with us.”
