Four Seasons Hotel Jakarta Unveils a New Chapter for Nautilus Bar

Four Seasons Hotel Jakarta proudly introduces a bold new cocktail menu at Nautilus Bar, inviting guests on a sensory voyage through Indonesia's diverse natural landscapes and rich maritime heritage. Building upon the bar's long-standing inspiration from the historic spice trade, the newly launched menu transforms Indonesia's mountains, forests, coastlines, and fertile lands into an immersive cocktail experience.

Located on the mezzanine level of the hotel, Nautilus has long celebrated Indonesia's role as a vital hub in the global spice trade. While the previous menu focused on individual Indonesian spices such as pepper, pandan, cinnamon, and nutmeg, the new collection expands the narrative, taking guests on a journey across the archipelago's landscapes and the stories, flavors, and ingredients that define them.

The new menu is a tribute to Indonesia's incredible geographical diversity and the ingredients that grow from its land and seas. Every cocktail has been carefully crafted to capture a sense of place, allowing guests to discover familiar local flavors through a contemporary and sophisticated lens.

A Journey Across Indonesia in Four Chapters

The collection is thoughtfully organized into four distinctive categories, each inspired by a different Indonesian landscape.

Mountains & Peaks showcases bold and warming profiles inspired by volcanic slopes and mist-covered ridges. Highlights include Turmerizzzz, featuring gin, turmeric, and Javanese long pepper, alongside Noir, a luxurious blend of bourbon, whisky, chocolate, and nutmeg vermouth.

Lands & Fields celebrates Indonesia's agricultural abundance with approachable, generously spiced creations such as Mango Tango, a vibrant combination of tequila, whisky, mango, and cinnamon, and Velvet Road, a refined cocktail combining rye whiskey, cognac, white pepper, and star anise.

Forests & Jungles explores lush tropical ingredients beneath Indonesia's dense canopies. Standout cocktails include Honeyrita, elevated with black forest honey and makrut lime leaf, and Es Teler, a playful interpretation of the beloved Indonesian dessert with jackfruit, coconut, pandan, and milk.

Seas & Ports pays homage to Indonesia's maritime legacy and centuries of trade routes. Drinks such as Spice Smuggler, scented with torch ginger mist, and Dockside Dondong, crafted with kedondong and coconut, evoke the vibrant spirit of bustling ports and island crossings.

Beloved Signatures Remain

Recognizing the popularity of several guest favorites, Nautilus has retained a dedicated Nautilus Favourites section. Signature cocktails including Red Pearl, Lada P & J, Koko Pala, and the bar's celebrated Negroni Collection continue to feature prominently on the menu, offering returning guests a taste of the creations that helped define the Nautilus experience.

Elevated Classics and Exceptional Spirits

The menu also introduces a selection of premium cocktails crafted with ultra-luxury spirits, including rare expressions from Patrón El Alto, Macallan 18 Sherry Oak, Clase Azul Reposado, Don Julio 1942, and Martell XO. Complementing the cocktail program is an extensive collection of fine spirits, wines, Champagnes, cigars, and elevated bar bites, reaffirming Nautilus Bar as one of Jakarta's most sophisticated destinations for discerning drinkers.

Indonesian Ingredients at the Forefront

Throughout the menu, guests will discover a curated selection of indigenous ingredients and regional flavours including andaliman pepper, jeruk Medan, kedondong, gula aren, trigona honey, coriander seed, torch ginger, turmeric, young mango, and pandan. These ingredients are presented through modern mixology techniques while remaining deeply rooted in Indonesia's culinary identity.

With its new menu, Nautilus Bar continues its commitment to storytelling through cocktails, offering guests not only exceptional drinks but an invitation to explore Indonesia's landscapes, culture, and centuries-old connection to the world of spices.
