Salvaje Dubai, the acclaimed Japanese-Latin American restaurant, has launched a new signature cocktail menu blending Japanese elegance with vibrant Latin American flavours. Available daily, the menu features reimagined classics and experimental creations, honoring nature, culture, and craftsmanship.
Step into a world where cocktails become poetry and every pour tells a tale. Salvaje Dubai’s new signature cocktail menu is a cinematic journey from the misty forests of Japan to the volcanic heartlands of Latin America — a lush collision of cultures, flavours, and sensory ritual. Each cocktail is an invitation to explore distant lands, where ingredients are not just mixed, but awakened.
At the heart of Salvaje Dubai’s spirited bar culture is AgustÃn Ower — the driving force behind its bold creativity and international flair. A true maestro of flavour and finesse, AgustÃn blends precision with passion, infusing each cocktail with his Latin soul and worldly vision. Under his guidance, the bar has become more than a destination — it is a stage for storytelling, a canvas for innovation, and a meeting point for global cultures through every shaken, stirred, and smoked creation.
Another meaningful curation is — Ayahuasca, a Palo santo and botanical in a ritual cocktail, developed from the symbolic inspiration from Amazonian shamanic traditions, where shamans serve as spiritual guides and healers. Rooted in rituals that connect the physical and spirit worlds, Ayahuasca represents transformation, nature’s wisdom, and introspection. Through its presentation and storytelling, the cocktail pays homage to this powerful heritage—inviting guests into a sensory journey of connection, depth, and awakening.
One of the main highlights from the menu is the Bullet Train. Inspired by a time when Japanese express trains offered more than speed — passengers would grab regional snacks and drinks at stations, turning each ride into a quick journey through Japan’s local flavours. Featuring vodka, cacao, caramel, chocolate, coffee, miso and kaffir leaves, the cocktail is a taste of Japan in motion with a fast, flavourful experience that captures the spirit of seamless travel and sensory discovery.
Guests can also sip the essence of Japan with cocktails like Pacific Ocean, encompassing the charm of sea, it features roku gin, kombu, citrus, sea breeze foam, octopus ink, or The Geisha, representing the iconic cultural art in the human form, this cocktail comprises sake, mancino rosso, rinomato scuro and umeshu.
For enthusiasts of exotic flavours, the selections with Latin American influence, are certain to engage the palate with options such as Wild Fashioned, featuring skinos Mastiha, gold rum, cinnamon, cloves, anise, orange illustrating the flavours of wilderness from the jungles of the region or the Volcano, made from the lost explorer mezcal, coconut, pineapple, pandan, citrus, and bamboo. Guests can also choose Salvaje’s bestseller – Happy Hippo, spicy passion fruit margarita. Described as “cute, but dangerous,” the signature cocktail is known for both, its visual appeal as well as its potency.
Salvaje’s reputation in mixology has been enhanced by its weekly Mix Masters series, organized by AgustÃn Ower, bringing together top Dubai bartenders. Through rotating bar takeovers and collaborative shows, Salvaje exchanges ideas, flavours, and styles with leading venues locally and globally. International guest bartenders visit Salvaje Dubai, while AgustÃn and his team showcase their flair worldwide.
Whether you’re in the mood for a pre-dinner discovery, an elevated nightcap, or simply an unforgettable conversation starter, Salvaje’s new signature cocktail menu offers the perfect excuse to go wild. It’s not just a drink — it’s a destination in a glass.
