Each one of the sixteen cocktails that appear in Once In A Lifetime is a unique take on a classic serve. All presented in refined glassware, the clean but striking drinks are as fun as they are complex; while some dazzle with theatrics and playful garnishes others focus on intriguing flavor combinations and intricate techniques. Practises such as fermentation, clarification and fat-washing are used, as well as sous-vide, nitro-infusion and carbonation methods, to produce some of the exciting concoctions.


From driving a Formula One car and climbing Mount Everest, to riding a hot air balloon or traveling on the Orient Express, the new menu will take guests on an inspiring journey of adventure and natural wonder. Each cocktail is created with ingredients designed to evoke an experience through sight, taste and smell. 


For example, Green Lights draws on Nordic Aquavit, pine needles and crisp clean lemon to recreate the experience of lying on the snow, and watching the Northern Lights. Meanwhile, Javari comprises Canaima gin, made with Amazonian botanicals, and a red amaranth garnish, as well as cocoa, yerba mate, soapbark and timur pepper, which combine to create the native humid aromas that we’d imagine inhaling when exploring the Amazon rainforest.
