Inspired by Aslam Gafoor’s article in the Yauatcha Life Magazine, Asia In A Glass is a world of flavours waiting to be explored!
Yauatcha, the renowned contemporary dimsum tea house, is thrilled to announce the launch of its unique cocktail menu, Asia In A Glass. This new menu is a vibrant celebration of Asian ingredients, masterfully crafted into exquisite cocktails that promise to transport guests on a sensory journey across the continent. Beyond their culinary programme, Yauatcha extends their philosophy seamlessly into the heart of their bar program, where mixology transforms into an art form.
Elevating the experience beyond expectations, the Asia In A Glass Menu has now launched at Yauatcha Bangalore. Ranging from classic cocktails with a unique twist to refreshing fruit-forward and tea-infused concoctions, each libation at this London-style bar is a meticulously crafted narrative. The drinks at Yauatcha embody innovation and sophistication when it comes to showcasing Asian ingredients.
“When I was working on the ‘Asia In A Glass’ article, I had the pleasure of meeting with Merwyn and gained a deeper understanding of the evolution of Yauatcha’s cocktail scene. Yauatcha has always been at the forefront of mixology trends, being one of the pioneers in implementing an innovative ice program. Sitting down with Merwyn provided invaluable insights that helped shape the story. It’s truly gratifying to see this meticulously crafted menu come to fruition with this article.” said Mr. Aslam Gafoor, who inspired the creation of this cocktail menu with his article in the Yauatcha Life magazine, titled Asia In A Glass.
As the name suggests, Asian ingredients take the spotlight in Yauatcha’s cocktail program philosophy, turning every cocktail into a distinctive masterpiece. From the invigorating zing of lemongrass to the comforting warmth of ginger, Yauatcha’s Head Mixologist, Mr. Merwyn Alphonso has curated a sensory experience that reflects Asian culinary heritage in every sip. Furthermore, the glassware and ice programme transform into canvases for expression, enhancing visual allure and turning the bar into a dynamic masterpiece where flavours dance and evolve.
Sharing his excitement on the launch of the new cocktail menu, Merwyn said, “Discussing the beverage program at Yauatcha, it’s clear that it’s more than just a dim sum restaurant. When Allen Yau founded Yauatcha, it was built on the four pillars of hospitality: patisserie, dim sum, mixology, and tea. To this day, these pillars guide us in crafting every cocktail that we put on our menus. The ‘Asia In A Glass’ menu was created with this ethos in mind, and we hope our guests enjoy these beautiful libations!”
Mr.Tamal Ghosh said of the launch, “It’s wonderful to see prominent and friendly faces from the industry come together for the launch of this exquisite menu. Yauatcha has been a cornerstone of Bengaluru’s culinary scene for about 12 years, and it’s been an incredible journey for us. Relaunching Yauatcha Life with the contribution of Mr. Aslam Gafoor has been an absolute pleasure. The magazine perfectly encapsulates Yauatcha’s journey over the past decade, highlighting our evolution into more than just a dining destination—Yauatcha has become a cultural institution.”
Yauatcha’s ‘Asia In A Glass’ is more than just a cocktail menu- it is an homage to the traditional flavours and modern techniques that define Asian cuisine. Each cocktail is a testament to the skill and creativity of Yauatcha’s mixologists, who have drawn inspiration from the diverse culinary landscapes of Asia to create drinks that are as visually stunning as they are delicious. Asia In A Glass will be available at Yauatcha Bangalore for all to try from the 12th of July! Experience the vibrant flavours and innovative creations that set Yauatcha apart. The drinks echo Yauatcha’s ethos, embodying innovation and sophistication when it comes to showcasing Asian ingredients.
