Cabinet 8
Fusing the essence of Japan's ROKU Sakura Bloom with Malaysia's uniquely local ingredients, "Rubi-Hi" is a harmonious blend of floral and fruity. From the lush berries of Cameron Highlands to vibrant Roselle flowers from local farms, this cocktail shines with a floral, fruity, and fizzy profile.
One sip and you'll find the delicate saltiness from Sakura leaves adds a unique savoury aftertaste, while the clarified and carbonated creation ensures a refreshing experience. Garnished with an edible rose from a nearby plantation to pair the gin's floral character.

Rubi-Hi
Blending Japan's ROKU Sakura Bloom with Malaysia's local ingredients, Rubi-Hi boasts a harmonious floral-fruity fusion. From Cameron Highlands' berries to local Roselle flowers, it offers a fizzy profile. The subtle saltiness from Sakura leaves complements its refreshing, carbonated essence, while an edible rose garnish enhances the gin's floral notes.
Tea Master
This cocktail is a fitting – and impressive – paean to Japan's terroir and Malaysia's vibrant multicultural communities. ROKU Sakura Blossom and genmaicha provide subtle, earthy, umami notes, while sandalwood and chamomile allude to Malaysia's rich cultural tapestry. The finished libation breaks all the rules of blending spirits – and customers are loving it.
Florist
Like ROKU, St‑Germain is made with fresh botanicals, hand-picked once a year at their peak aroma and flavour. When paired, the resulting cocktail boasts a complex bouquet of flavours both floral and herbaceous. This riff off the classic French 75 tops gin up with moscato, geranium, and citrus for an aromatic, refreshing cocktail that packs a punch.
