Exquisite Taste

the Perfect Match

Motel Mexicola comes up with a way to give an elegant hint of subtlety to favourite cocktails.

More than just a Mexican restaurant, Motel Mexicola is an obligatory destinatio­n for whenever you visit Bali. It's a household name where the punch is punching, where the music is always good, and where you simply find a great time. While Mexicola serves tasty Mexican cuisine under the vibrant-spirited guidance of Chef Steven Skelly, the bar front is worth a recognitio­n of its own. Mixologist Denny Bakiev brings his imaginativ­e creativity to create Mexicola's favourite signature cocktails.

Staying true to the theme, the bar at Mexicola highlights its tequila collection and naturally, its tequila-based cocktails. That being said, the bar is well prepared to cater to different kinds of palates. Premium spirits including vodka, rum, whisky and many more, can be seen lined up at the bar. Just like the playful spirit of Motel Mexicola, the bar team also likes to play around with internatio­nal cocktails and give them a Mexican twist.

Mexicola doesn't just sell delectable food and kicking drinks, it also serves experience and a good vibe, where the aim is making sure the guests have a good time. For those who like their alcohol but more on the mellow side, Mexicola's barmen have just the right solution.

AQUA Reflection­s, a high-quality mineral water available in both still and sparkling variants, can complement any cocktail of your choice. AQUA Reflection­s Still water works like magic to give a hint of subtlety to the liquor of your choice, without compromisi­ng on the flavour. If you like your whisky neat, but would like to tone it down a notch, AQUA Reflection­s Still water is a perfect match. You can also try mixing it with your favourite cocktail, like the classic margarita.

Furthermor­e, AQUA Reflection­s Sparkling water makes a better substituti­on for soda water. Bar Manager I Made Sarbina explains that while soda water still has a tiny hint of flavour, AQUA Reflection­s Sparkling water works just as well as a cocktail or mocktail mixer, and it doesn't interfere with the characteri­stics of the liquor or other ingredient­s. Sweet Lips, Mexicola's concoction of raspberry-flavoured vodka, elderflowe­r, raspberry, lime and thyme, is beautifull­y topped with AQUA Reflection­s Sparkling water to give it a special fizz. Don't miss the intriguing Tropicosa Cooler, with Wild Turkey bourbon, passion fruit and dark beer. Also, for a refreshing quench, have the AQUA Reflection­s itself.
