Following the hugely successful launch of the brand’s TRINITY cocktail menu in 2023 and SYNERGY in 2022, UNITY marks a new chapter for Sexy Fish. The new cocktail menu sees a departure from traditional cocktail offerings, instead pushing boundaries and embracing global drinking trends.
A groundbreaking approach to modern mixology and drinking – UNITY is led by its definition as ‘the state of being united or joined as a whole’, where alcohol content is considered and the guest experience amplified.
A cocktail menu for the modern age, UNITY features 12 core serves based on 12 core flavour profiles: each available as alcoholic and alcohol-free iterations. With 24 cocktails in total, guests need only choose their desired key flavour and base alcohol level, and UNITY delivers a personalised, inclusive and mindful drinking experience for all.
Choose from the likes of Pineapple, Cacao, Honey, Sugar Snap Pea – core flavours communicating senses from across the world. The UNITY menu will be available worldwide, with a handful of serves exclusive to each city such as Plum, Orange, Apple in Manchester, Fig, Barley & Raspberry in London and Lime, Goldenberry & Coffee in Miami.
UNITY @ Sexy Fish highlights include:
Pineapple (£15), featuring pineapple peel infused The Lost Explorer Espadín Mezcal, roasted pineapple fruit, basil, agave lime & coriander. Its alcohol-free counterpart, the 0% ABV Pineapple (£6) is made from The London Essence Co roasted pineapple soda, green pepper, banana and chipotle.
Sugar Snap Pea (£15), features Ki No Bi Kyoto Dry Gin, sugar snap pea, thyme, manzanilla sherry, absinthe, apple and lemonade, which elevates the natural aromas of the sweet sugar snap pea. Its counterpart, 0% ABV Sugar Snap Pea (£8) features Seedlip Garden 108, sugar snap pea, pear, jasmine and verjus: an embodiment of an English summer garden and the perfect seasonal spritz.
Those wanting to opt for ‘low’ as opposed to 0% ABV can choose Cacao(£12.00), featuring Low ABV Haku Vodka, Everleaf Marine, cacao, dark chocolate, vanilla, merlot and bitter. Its alcoholic Cacao counterpart features Absolute Elyx Vodka infused with cacao butter & dark chocolate, Sauternes, Lillet and lemon (£12).
To coincide with the global celebration of World Cocktail Day (Monday 13 May), UNITY will debut in Rome at World’s 50 Best Bar, Drink Kong. Regarded as Rome’s most innovative bar and known for its Japanese-inspired menus and neon-lit spaces, Drink Kong makes the perfect partner for a Sexy Fish takeover. With 9 Sexy Fish team members from across the globe flying to Rome for the event, Drink Kong will be fully immersed in Sexy Fish style, from staff uniforms to the music to glassware and of course the full selection of UNITY cocktails.
Following the Drink Kong takeover, UNITY will arrive in Miami, Manchester and London – available to guests from Friday 17 May.
Sexy Fish Manchester has recently been named in the inaugural Pinnacle Guide 2024 with 37 other bars around the world selected including counterpart, Sexy Fish London. The venue was awarded one pin after an 18-month consultation process.
The UNITY drinks list has been curated by Xavier Landais, Director of Bars at Caprice Holdings, alongside his team of bartenders including James Hawkins (Group Head of Bars) Kendall Hauer (Head Bartender, Miami), Sam Page (Head Bartender, London). It represents a culmination of months of development and a commitment to exceeding consumer demands at Sexy Fish.
Xavier Landais comments: “The UNITY cocktail menu has been created in the tenets of ‘Pure, Bold, Vibrant, Minimal’. We believe in creating drinks that are simple, yet powerful, where every ingredient is carefully selected to create a bold and vibrant flavour profile that excites the senses. Our minimalist approach allows the flavours to truly shine and I can’t wait to roll out the menu across our three Sexy Fish sites.”
