Among the drinks, the Green elixir stands out for its presentation. The cocktail arrives in a two-part glass, topped with a bubble you pop before drinking. Its flavour is bright, with notes of green apple, vodka, and passion fruit.

We finished this fusion fest with a Tiramisu, which held its shape well and perfectly delivered the classic balance of coffee and cream.
