Embarking on its journey of eight years, KOKO is all set to host a bar collaboration with Clap Dubai, the Michelin guide featured restaurant, for the very first time in India, as part of its anniversary celebrations. Taking place on August 25 and 26, it promises to delight the senses and redefine the art of mixology.

Known for its innovation and distinctive concoctions, Clap Dubai's talented bar manager, Lilian Sausset, is set to dazzle Mumbai patrons with an extraordinary display of mixological expertise. The bar collaboration will showcase an array of Clap Dubai's signature cocktails, each one a masterpiece crafted with precision and creativity.

Guests can anticipate being mesmerised by cocktails like the Shibuya Shakedown, a captivating blend of Patron Silver, coriander, agave, yuzu, lemon juice, togarashi salt, and sansho pepper. The Legend of Wako is a harmonious symphony of Bombay Sapphire Gin, lime, sesame, orgeat, yuzu-shu, umeshu, and clarified almond milk.
