The cocktail menu at Hotel Kabuki's bar is a testament to the creativity and expertise of the mixologists. Each drink is a delicate balance of flavors and a visual work of art. Signature cocktails often pay homage to the hotel's Japanese influence with ingredients like sake and yuzu. One such creation, the "Tokyo Drift," is a masterful concoction of Japanese whiskey, umeshu (plum wine), and a hint of citrus, providing a smooth, flavorful sip with a touch of East Asian flair.

Meanwhile, the "Samurai Spritz" offers a bubbly reprieve, featuring sparkling sake, Aperol, and a splash of soda water, garnished with a thin slice of cucumber for a crisp finish.
