World Cocktail Day is just around the corner, and Muro is celebrating with a drink that captures both the craft of mixology and the thrill of storytelling in a glass. Bar Manager Sahil Essani, the creative force behind the bar, is lifting the lid on one of his favorite concoctions from Muro’s new Musings 2.0 menu – Shades of Green.

Think of it as a garden party with a plot twist. This cocktail begins innocently enough with the smooth botanical notes of Bombay Sapphire gin, paired with the gentle sweetness of elderflower and the fresh punch of wild coriander. But don’t let the soft start fool you. A dash of prosecco bubbles in, adding lift and brightness – only to be beautifully disrupted by a mysterious Laphroaig mist, lending the drink a smoky, almost poetic finish.

The official ingredients read like a symphony:
Bombay Sapphire – 20ml, Laphroaig – 2.5ml, Shades of Green mix – 20ml, Chenin Blanc – 40ml, Soda – 30ml. It's then topped with a raw mango crisp for garnish – a nod to tropical freshness with a little zing.

Essani’s creation is part of a larger narrative that Muro is telling through their Musings 2.0 menu – a journey of layered flavours, unexpected pairings, and cocktails that feel as thoughtful as they are tasty.

So, whether you're toasting to World Cocktail Day or simply looking for a drink that surprises you at every sip, Shades of Green might just be your next favourite discovery. Drop by Muro, order one fresh off the menu, and pair it with some of their signature bar bites – because great cocktails deserve great company.
