Here in Ubud, bartenders are less like mixologists and more like flavour poets composing drinks with locally-sourced ingredients, unusual pairings, and a dash of flair. If a coconut fell in love with a Campari bottle under a full moon, chances are it’s already on the menu.

What Are Craft Cocktails?

Craft cocktails are thoughtfully made, ingredient-driven drinks that prioritise balance, boldness, and creativity. They’re mixed with precision, often using house-made infusions, bitters, or syrups and in Ubud, that means plenty of tropical, herbal, and sometimes surprising Indonesian twists. If you’re the kind of drinker who says, “surprise me,” this is your playground.

So let’s get into it—here’s your official craft cocktails Ubud must-try list.

Sandalwood Martini

A sophisticated sip that starts with the silky smoothness of Tanqueray No. TEN and Cocchi Americano. Then, things get interesting with the earthy, aromatic touch of sandalwood and cananga (think a sweet floral note, like a tropical flower bouquet). Bright pomelo juice adds a fresh citrus punch that’ll wake up your palate. It’s elegant, it’s unexpected, and it’s downright memorable. Pro tip: Perfect for when you want to feel like you’ve walked into a Balinese garden at sunset.

Scarface

Don’t be fooled by the name, this one’s got layers. Tanqueray No. TEN meets the bitter herbal kick of Fernet Branca, softened by strawberry balsamico and rounded out with romelo (a tangy local fruit). Torch ginger adds a spicy floral hint, and a touch of cacao butter aged to perfection finishes the job with a silky smooth richness.

Old Fashioned

Sometimes, the classics never go out of style. Ubud’s version features Bulleit Rye & Bourbon, a local Mesoyi twist, and a house blend bitter with a hint of beeswax for a velvety finish. Familiar but elevated, it’s the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring.

The Novelist

For those who write their own stories, this blend of Don Julio Blanco, Giffard Blue Curacao, and Ancho Reyes Verde (hello, chilli kick!) pairs beautifully with tropical passion fruit, Thai basil’s fresh herbaceous vibe, and the unexpected zing of Aji Limo peppers. It’s a cocktail that inspires creativity—sip slowly.

The Dancer

Graceful and full of movement, The Dancer blends 1615 Pisco, smoky mezcal, Aperol’s bittersweet charm, and the herbal bite of Genepy. Notes of raspberry, yuzu, elderflower, and a delicate albumin foam give it a lightness and flair that’s as vibrant as a Balinese dance performance.

The Prince

Regal and mysterious, like a Balinese royal tale told over a campfire. Godet No. 1 Cognac dances with Nocino, banana peel Campari, Dom Benedictine, jackfruit, and a whisper of wormwood smoke. A cocktail with both charm and a touch of intrigue.

Primitivist

A tropical jungle in a glass, this cocktail uses Tanqueray No. TEN and coconut rum to bring the island vibe to the forefront. Pineapple and passion fruit add sweetness, pandan and lemongrass bring herbal complexity, and soy milk clarification gives it a silky, smooth texture. A dash of Campari keeps it balanced with bitters. It’s the perfect drink for those who love bold, fresh, and playful flavours.

Clairvoyant

For those with a taste for the unexpected, Clairvoyant blends Koch Elemental Mezcal with fino sherry, beetroot, and a quirky dollop of peanut butter. Watermelon and paprika add sweet heat, making this a cocktail that’s as mysterious as it is delicious, perfect for deep conversations and late nights.

Jack & Rose

This one’s a love story with a tropical twist. Jackfruit Cognac, Coco Pandan Campari, and rose meet with a fizzy kiss of Prosecco. It’s bubbly, fruity, and flirtatiously floral, a perfect toast to warm evenings and cooler conversations.

Harlem

Smooth, creamy, and a little bit cheeky. Tanqueray No. TEN pairs with Amaretto Disaronno, passion fruit, and sesame cream for a rich, nutty twist. Pandan and miso add an umami surprise, while albumin and soda lighten the mood. Harlem’s got the moves to keep your night grooving.

Why Ubud’s Craft Cocktails Are Worth Your Time

Ubud’s craft cocktails don’t just quench your thirst; they tell a story of local ingredients, skilled bartenders, and a culture that loves to experiment.
