The theme of the menu is ‘Unfolding and Exploring’, allowing guests to ‘unfold’ new experiences and ‘explore’ unusual ingredients including ash, gem-stones, larch, leather mushrooms and parsnip. Just as a fashion house launches an annual collection, Artesian launches an innovative menu each year. In the ‘Unfolding and Exploring’ menu, each drink is coded according to character and depth with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails listed together. As Kratena states: “A great dish does not necessarily contain meat, so why should every cocktail contain alcohol?”
