Elevating cocktail culture at W Macau – Studio City’s Living Room
W Macau - Studio City's mixology team continues to deliver innovative storytelling that creates one-of-a-kind drinking experiences through Living Room’s ‘ATMOSPHERE’ and ‘ANTI’ Series.
The hotel’s main bar, Living Room, has unveiled a groundbreaking drinks menu, redefining the art of mixology at this day-to-night craft coffee and modern cocktail bar and its hidden speakeasy counterpart, A.P.D. (A Perfect Dose). Merging creative techniques with rich storytelling, the bar menus craft an immersive journey where each cocktail evokes emotion, atmosphere, and bold innovation. Guests are invited to explore a world of sensory-driven flavours that convey the atmosphere of different scenes or explore reimagined classic cocktails with bolder twists.
"Macau’s bar scene is evolving, and we’re leading the charge," says Samio Choi, the head of bars at W Macau – Studio City. "From the poetic narratives of Living Room to the rule-breaking experiments at A.P.D., we’re proving that cocktails can be as daring, dynamic, and unforgettable as the city itself—we are crafting moments."
Living Room’s "ATMOSPHERE Series": Cocktails that evoke emotion
Inspired by the power of ambiance and personal connection, Living Room’s ‘ATMOSPHERE Series’ crafts cocktails that transcend taste, weaving narratives of nature, urban energy, and introspective moments. Perfect for those looking for modern and creative drinks, each drink under this series tells a story, drawing from nature, cityscapes, and personal experiences with the city.
TOKYO KASUMI captures the duality of Tokyo’s nights – smoky tequila and herbal shiso evoking hazy izakaya alleyways; WILD FLOWER embodies resilience, its gin base unfolding from arid dryness into floral bloom; while AFTER RAIN bottles the petrichor of a monsoon, blending Thai ginger’s warmth with passionfruit’s tang and thyme’s earthiness, finished with a citrus flash like sunlight through storm clouds.
The ‘ANTI Series’: Reinventing classics with bold creativity at Living Room
For the flavour-curious and boundary-breakers, Living Room’s "ANTI Series" deconstructs and reimagines classic cocktails, challenging conventions with avant-garde techniques and surprising ingredients. A daring yet harmonious dance of flavours that redefines the familiar.
Drinks include the ANTI – MANGO COLADA, a tropical reinvention of the classic Piña Colada, drawing inspiration from Cantonese mango sago dessert for a creamy and tangy twist. Meanwhile, the ANTI – AFFOGATINI merges affogato and espresso martini into one daring sip, elevated by Parmesan cheese for a striking balance of bitter espresso, sweet vanilla, and umami saltiness – an unexpected yet sophisticated trio of flavours.
A.P.D.’s mezcal mastery: Where smoke meets adventure
Hidden behind the unassuming façade of A.P.D., the speakeasy’s mezcal-focused menu is a love letter to bold, unconventional pairings. Built upon the smoky depth of mezcal, each cocktail is a revelation – unexpected, complex, and deeply narrative. From earthy and spicy to bright and herbaceous, A.P.D.’s creations are designed to intrigue, spark conversation, and linger in memory long after the last sip.
PIMIENTO VERDE (GREEN PEPPER) reimagines the Paloma with the vegetal kick of green pepper and the lively tang of grapefruit, while CURRY DE COCO (CURRY & COCONUT) melds the warmth of curry and the creaminess of coconut, deepened by a hint of coffee bitterness – finally, RÚCULA (ARUGULA) offers a peppery, herbaceous spin on the smash cocktail, letting arugula’s bold flavour shine.
