Cloud Chaser: Dreaminess in a glass
Capturing the joyfulness and dreaminess of floating balloons in a glass, Origin Bar promises to put a smile on your face with the enchanting Cloud Chaser. Watch as the bartender shakes up Woodford Reserve bourbon, toasted cacao amaro, hazelnut, green walnut and a silky milk wash for this delightful cocktail.

Proper Treatment: G&T with a twist
Ever wondered how effervescent tablets came into existence? Originally created to mask the taste of bitter water used as curatives, these tablets have a fascinating history. And now, they’re taking centre stage in a cocktail that’s as unique as it’s refreshing.
Enter: Proper Treatment. This whimsical take on the classic gin and tonic features Fords London dry gin, distilled pink guava, salted jasmine and Palo Santo cordial. The real magic happens when a house-made effervescent tablet is dropped into the drink upon serving. The result? A floral, slightly vegetal, and incredibly refreshing sip that’ll leave your taste buds tingling.
It’s time to experience the alluring tastes of bygone eras for yourself – book a seat at Origin Bar for captivating tipples that’ll take you on a journey like no other.
