At Luna Dubai, the rooftop bar at Four Seasons Hotel Dubai International Financial Centre, the night sky has always whispered inspiration and now it speaks in spirits. Named after the Roman Goddess of the moon – admired for her ethereal elegance and enigmatic charm, Luna is a sanctuary where twilight dreams take shape in liquid form. Inspired by this celestial muse, the rooftop bar unveils its new cocktail menu Lunar Alchemy: A Journey Through the Phases of Flavour. Guided by the ever-changing face of the moon, the new cocktail collection is a constellation of experiences, a journey of discovery where every flavour, feeling and phase align, inviting exploration from the first glance.

Available from September 8, 2025, Lunar Alchemy captures the phases of the moon through a series of curated cocktails, aligned with the shifting expressions of the moon, and reflecting the essence of a particular lunar mood from eccentric to familiar, light, and strong. Whether one seeks adventure, comfort, clarity of depth, there is a lunar moment and flavour to match every mood.

“We wanted the moon to guide us, and we designed this menu to feel like a journey through the phases. Each creation has a moon-inspired name that sparks curiosity so guests can choose something that matches their mood or go exploring. It’s a fun, intuitive way to explore the menu,” said Martin Ubertas, Bar General Manager at Luna Dubai

The complete collection features ten signature cocktails: eight dedicated to the phases of the moon itself, and two special creations that pay homage to the enduring forces of the sun and earth.

Desert Moon falls in the intersection of eccentric and light, leading the constellation with a desert-inspired cocktail that evokes the energy of the New Moon, a phase tied to new beginnings, intention-setting, and a cosmic blank slate. Tequila is expertly shaken with a smoky and spicy Giffard Espelette, Lemongrass Cointreau, prickly pear, lime juice, and a dash of agave syrup.

Andes Moon is eccentric and strong, reflecting the Waxing Gibbous, a phase where things near completion, calling for refinement and elevation, cosmically known as the moment to polish, perfect, and prepare for full illumination. The cocktail blends 12-year-old rum with Aperol, pineapple and almond soda, and tamarillo fruit, creating a vibrant yet delicate mix kissed with high-altitude soul and moonlit optimism.

Harvest Moon is strong and familiar, drawing its inspiration from the Waning Gibbous, the phase that follows the Full Moon, when emotion gives way to insight and sharing. It is a time for processing revelations, harvesting wisdom, and to return to what grounds oneself. The cocktail mirrors that introspective sweetness with gin, calvados, red wine, hazelnut, plum, and aromatic bay leaf, a comforting embrace for the senses, wrapped in golden light.

I Feel the Earth Move is light and familiar, and tied to grounding essence of Earth itself, a steady force amid the celestial shifts. In astrology, Earth represents the material, the physical, the root of all being. This cocktail reflects that elemental strength with a bold and textured combination of vodka, cold brew coffee, coconut, cherry, and matcha. It’s an anchoring moment, stable, rich, and unapologetically rooted in the now.

“The most evocative expression is Dancing in the Moonlight. It’s not just the name, this cocktail has this lively and unexpected combination that feels like staying out late, laughing with friends, and just enjoying the moment. That’s the kind of mood we wanted to capture in a glass,” says Martin Ubertas

The Lunar Alchemy Menu evokes a moment in orbit, inviting guests to drink in the phases of the moon as they would a memory - slowly, intentionally and with a sense of wonder. Each cocktail echoes the moon’s quiet pull on human emotions. Guests are invited to linger, slow down, look up, and lose themselves in the ritual, every sip guided by the goddess Luna herself.
