Cocktails that will stir your senses

At the heart of it all is creativity, and these four signature cocktails of our Oia restaurant are proof that storytelling can happen through the senses. A celebration of local charm and global flair, capturing moments in a glass. Let your senses guide you through flavours that tell their own vivid story. 

Tropical Forest: A Lush Escape

With its bold tropical profile and a hint of mystery, Tropical Forest transports you straight to an exotic jungle after rainfall. The smooth clarity of Grey Goose vodka lays the foundation, while red fruits marmalade offers a sweet Santorini delight that clings to the palate. 

A touch of homemade vanilla rounds the edges, creating a soft warmth. The brightness of passion fruit, a snap of ginger, and a dash of lime elevate the drink into a vibrant, layered experience. It’s a cocktail for those who crave something daring, yet familiar.

Alexios: A Mediterranean breeze

The clean, citrusy base of Oxley gin pairs with a homemade cordial crafted from yuzu, red grapefruit, cardamom, and basil, a quartet of flavours that dances between bitter, floral and gently spiced. 

Topped with tonic, this drink is ideal for warm afternoons or pre-dinner aperitifs. It’s the kind of drink that whispers sophistication, as it doesn’t need to be loud. Acidic, bold and refreshingly modern, Alexios is a cocktail that celebrates simplicity with a twist. 

Sunrise in Tulum: A special journey

If sunshine had a flavour, Sunrise in Tulum might just be it. With Patron Reposado as its base, this cocktail merges the earthiness of aged tequila with the tropical fleshiness of mango and the golden spice of turmeric. 

Dry curaçao adds a citrusy hint, while honey and lemon tie everything together in a soft finish. This is a drink that feels like dancing barefoot on the beach at golden hour.

Sailor’s Mood: Stormy with a chance of spice

Inspired by maritime nights and the call of the open sea, Sailor’s Mood is bold, spiced and unexpectedly comforting. The base of Bacardi spiced cherry rum sets a rich, aromatic tone, enhanced by the almond elegance of Orgeat syrup. 

A touch of cardamom and fresh ginger adds heat and complexity, balanced perfectly with a splash of lemon. It’s a drink for cooler nights, long conversations, and those who love depth in every sip.
