We get to know MO BAR Manager ADRIAN BESA and his incredible nomadic cocktail series at the Mandarin Oriental’s glam in-house drinking spot. Tell us about the latest cocktail list at MO BAR? MO BAR’s current Volume Three cocktail menu is inspired by our latest travels and virtual collaborations around the region, focusing on using indigenous ingredients, local spirits, traditional techniques, and modern equipment.
What’s one drink visitors must order at MO BAR? “SARIMANOK”, inspired by the mythical creature from the southern part of the Philippines that looks after the region, bringing fortune and good favours. It’s made with croissant fat-washed rum, jasmine green tea kombucha, mango and peaches, and finished with edible rice paper printed with edible ink featuring the beautiful colours of the Sarimanok and the Philippines.
