Sydney Welcomes a New Sensory Experience: Grain Bar at Four Seasons Hotel Sydney Introduces ‘Epic Sensory Cocktails’ Menu

Grain Bar at Four Seasons Hotel Sydney is inviting Sydneysiders and visitors to throw out the cocktail rulebook and flirt with flavour, immersing in all five senses with the launch of Epic Sensory Cocktails, a provocative new menu of handcrafted creations designed to thrill, tease and ignite.

Crafted by Grain Bar’s resident Mixology Maestro, Sarath Nair, this five-part collection is setting out to redefine what a cocktail can be. Each drink flirts with the senses — Sight, Sound, Smell, Taste and Touch — delivering an extraordinary cocktail experience.

Set within Four Seasons Hotel Sydney, just steps from Circular Quay, Grain Bar is the after-dark playground for those who like their cocktails with a side of drama. As the sun dips and Sydney’s skyline glows, Grain comes alive: intimate corners, seductive lighting, and a cocktail list designed to dazzle. The perfect spot for after-work drinks, weekend nights where cocktails are the centrepiece, or a stand-out nightcap. And now, as the evenings cool, guests are invited to sip, swirl, smash, and savour their way through Sydney’s most interactive cocktail experience.

The five senses captured in five unique cocktail experiences include:

Sound – Shattered AUD 35
Not stirred. Not shaken. Smashed. A crowd favourite, and potentially Sydney’s most unique Old Fashioned style cocktail, Shattered is a dramatic moment made to be heard: crack into a globe of ice (which takes Sarath 14 hours to hand craft) with a miniature hammer to release a rich blend of rosemary-smoked rye whisky, sugar and bitters. A literal smash hit, designed to bring the rhythm of the bar to your fingertips.

Smell – The Perfumed Bloom AUD 30
Light, floral and intoxicating. Have you ever had your cocktail served alongside a taste friendly perfume bottle? This floral-forward creation pairs Jasmine Verte and sparkling wine with a delicate spritz of house-made cherry blossom perfume, inviting guests to inhale before they sip.

Taste – The Palette Pop AUD 30
Sweet, sour, salty, bitter and umami, all of the tastes combined. This cocktail blends unexpected elements like mushroom-infused vodka, passionfruit, saline water and tonic. It’s also fully customisable, tailored to each guest’s taste buds.

Sight – Heart of the Garden AUD 30
A treat for the eyes, and a Grain Bar classic, now reimagined into the Epic Sensory menu, this cocktail is unveiled tableside through a swirl of lemongrass and ginger smoke! This citrus and floral drink is presented nestled in a miniature garden and topped with an edible jelly heart. A visual feast and instant showstopper.

Touch – Pina Fizz AUD 30
From icy cold sips to the soft surprise of a cloud of fairy floss, this flirtatious take on a tropical classic. Pina Fizz is one not to be missed. The combination of rum, pineapple and coconut soda is as refreshing as it is playful.

“I’ve worked in cocktail bars across the world with the Four Seasons,” said Sarath Nair. “With the launch of Epic Sensory Cocktails, I wanted to create something that pushes the boundaries. These aren’t just drinks, they’re stories brought to life through the senses. From the smash of ice to a spritz of cherry blossom perfume, each detail is designed to awaken and surprise.”

Guests can explore the Epic Sensory Cocktail collection now at Grain Bar, with no booking required. Simply arrive, sip, and let the senses take over.
