Enter the world of Summer Experiment, a ground-breaking endeavour by Australian mixologist Jay Moir that, since its opening in 2019, has had a profound impact on Ho Chi Minh City's emerging cocktail bar scene. This second-floor haven, tucked away close to Ben Thanh Market, features living walls, an on-site garden, and a dedication to sustainability that has raised the standard for bars in the area.
With its roots in Vietnam's abundant vegetation, Moir specialises in creating unique cocktails that highlight locally obtained and homegrown ingredients, including a variety of unique fruits, all expertly crafted.
Over 30 whimsical and realistic designs that are meant to entice the senses are presented in an illustrated menu that acts as a guide. Prominent creations comprise 'Milk Batch Baby,' an alcoholic ice cream made with nitro frozen gin, yuzu purée, green tea, and cream milk batch. In the centre of Ho Chi Minh City, Summer Experiment offers a singular, sensory-rich experience that is a monument to creativity and sustainability.
