From Cocktails to Mocktails, Here are 5 Must-Try Drinks at Merah Putih

As a staple part of any restaurant drinks menu, cocktails and mocktails are there to serve as a refresher and a companion to whatever food you order. These delicious beverages, made mostly by combining liquors, liqueurs, flavoured syrups, and sometimes fruits and spices, infuse a bit of fun into the dining experience.

The only difference between cocktails and mocktails is whether or not they contain alcohol. Guests won’t have to worry about their preferences being met, as there are plenty of options to choose from.

At Merah Putih restaurant, the drinks list offers plenty of cocktails and alcohol-free drinks, from the timeless classics to the house specialties made of locally-sourced ingredients. Take your pick from these five stellar signature drinks.

Kaffir Lime Crush

This is one of Merah Putih’s signature cocktails. Sweet and refreshing, it combines local passionfruit, kaffir lime leaves, and apples, along with vodka for a neutral alcoholic punch.

Merah Putih Sour

For alcohol enthusiasts, a visit to Bali wouldn’t be complete without trying the local staple – Balinese arak. This liquor is made by fermenting and distilling coconut sap, palm leaves, or rice grains. However, Merah Putih’s signature drink infuses arak with snake fruit for a sweet and fruity taste.

Added with turmeric, pineapple, soursop, bitters, and a touch of pinot noir, this drink is for those who like a bitter aftertaste with a little hint of spice.

Strawberry & Almond Sour

If you prefer a virgin cocktail, the Strawberry & Almond Sour is highly recommended. Made with strawberry jam, almond, and lemon, this is the perfect drink to order when you want something sweet with just a hint of zest – the ideal hot summer day beverage.

Calamansi & Cranberry

Finally, another unique non-alcoholic cocktail at Merah Putih incorporates calamansi with apples, cranberry, and pandan leaves. You’ll get a sweet aroma from the pandan but a tanginess from all the fruits, giving you an explosion of exotic flavours in one drink.
