From Rewind

The Pandan Fizz, explained

REWIND Team · Sample draft · August 21, 2026

Why our most-ordered cocktail smells like Southeast Asia's answer to vanilla — and how the bar builds it.

Ask our bartenders what starts the most conversations at the lounge, and the answer is one drink: the Pandan Fizz. It has been our most-ordered cocktail for three months running.

What is pandan?

Pandan is a fragrant leaf used across Southeast Asian kitchens — think of it as the region's vanilla, with a greener, nuttier warmth. We infuse it fresh, so the aroma meets you before the first sip.

How we build it

Nikka Coffey Gin carries the base, lemon brightens it, the pandan infusion rounds it, and a lift of soda keeps it light enough for the first hour of the night or the last.

Come by the lounge and try it beside the Guava Lady, its close runner-up — or ask the bar which element fits your evening. This article is a sample draft by the platform team and will be replaced by the venue's own editorial before launch.
