Original Mocktail
Created by the hotel's bartender.
Roasted Nut Caramel Latte
A hot mocktail with a gentle bitterness and the toasty aroma of roasted nuts.
A single grain of rock salt as an accent: the rock salt dissolves slowly, and the flavor gradually shifts toward something like salted caramel, with added sweetness and richness.
Seasonal Parfait
- Raspberry and chocolate parfait
