Above Eleven Bali Launches Nine New Island-Inspired Cocktails

One-of-a-kind Nikkei cuisine, rooftop views and a chic cosmopolitan design are the ingredients that have come together to make made Above Eleven Bali popular since it opened. 

Sitting atop the Samasta Lifestyle Village in Jimbaran, you can peer out far out over Jimbaran Bay, and out to the distant coastlines of Bali, watching as the planes fly in. A favourite spot for sunsets and dining under the stars, tucking into the Peruvian-Japanese fusion that defines the Nikkei cuisine. 

Of course, when enjoying the views or dishes, a carefully crafted cocktail is always a welcome accompaniment. That’s why Above Eleven Bali is launching a new selection of cocktails, inspired by the island itself, made from homemade infusions and syrups. 

From Jimbaran to Tabanan and Karangasem to Gilimanuk, each cocktail represents a different region in Bali, highlighting signature ingredients and tastes. Their names are just as intriguing as they way they taste:
