Our Top Instagram-Worthy Cocktails (And Where to Take the Best Photos)
1. Flaming Zombie
Served in an iconic tiki mug with a real flaming garnish, this cocktail is as dramatic as it is delicious. It’s one of our most popular drinks for a reason — it always gets people talking.
Best photo spot: Capture it against our bamboo feature wall or under the hanging palms for maximum tropical atmosphere.
2. The Sugar Cane Pina Colada
This house favourite is served in a hollowed-out pineapple with a vibrant fruit garnish and cocktail umbrella. Rich, creamy and full of Caribbean character, it’s made to be seen.

A bright, berry-coloured cocktail topped with edible flowers and mint. Its vivid tones and fresh finish make it an eye-catching choice.

4. Coconut Mojito
Simple, stylish and seriously tropical. Served in a real coconut shell with fresh lime and mint, this one brings summer vibes all year round.
