The cocktails at Esencia are original, blurring the line between drinks and cuisine. Bartenders use techniques and ingredients more commonly found in the kitchen, such as porcini mushrooms, sea urchin, and pigeon. You never quite know what you are going to get with each sip that is presented.
Some of the concepts featured on the Esencia menu include: Ice: Celebrating ice as a key ingredient, with flavours like spruce honey and pine needles; Bloody Mary, which puts a unique spin on the classic cocktail; Tokyo, highlighting Japanese flavours like calamansi citrus and Childhood Memories, evoking nostalgic flavours from the bartenders’ pasts.
Like with Drinkery House, the sips at Esencia are served in custom glassware and vessels, with the presentation enhancing the overall experience.
The Esencia tasting menu costs €75 (US$83.26; S$107.09) per person, for 10 sips, and there’s a longer menu with 15 sips for €97 per person. Reservations are a must.
