“Thanks to the nori, you can feel the sea in every sip. We perfected our sustainability principles with the moringa, which is used in a cordial and then dehydrated and powdered as a garnish.”
Another highlight is Dragon Sunset, a vivid, refreshing cocktail inspired by the spectacular sunset viewed from the dragon fruit and rose petal plantations in Song Nam, Vietnam. Blended with gin and Cointreau, these ingredients create striking purple and white hues.
“We use the whole dragon fruit, including the skin, because of its health benefits and herbal taste,” Marchese adds, reinforcing the zero-waste approach behind the menu. Meanwhile, Dala Spritz, inspired by a garden in China, contains Aperol infused with tomato, basil, and olives. The tomato is then dehydrated for garnishes.
For those seeking alcohol-free alternatives, Rock Bar’s menu also features a selection of sustainable mocktails, including the refreshing Nom Tom. This mocktail draws inspiration from traditional Thai coconut dumplings, called khanom tom, blending mint and coconut for a zesty tropical treat that honors the flavors of the region.
Marchese invites guests to savor the artistry of the new menu: “Our guests will be able to feel the care and passion that goes into each drink because our passion goes beyond mixology. We want to show our love to our guests and the planet, by creating the finest cocktails all with a zero-waste approach, contributing to a better world.”
Mario Belometti, General Manager of Rock Bar, shares his excitement about the new menu: “Rock Bar’s new cocktail menu exemplifies Ayana Bali’s commitment to sustainability while creating exceptional experiences for our guests. We’re not only reducing waste but also celebrating the diverse cultures and ingredients from across the Indian Ocean, all while creating the luxurious cocktails our guests deserve.”
