Apple Malang Martini
at The Keraton Lounge
A blend of apple, vodka, ginger and lime makes this a distinctive take on the classic vodka martini. An impressive example of lavish contemporary chic with more than just a hint of traditional Javanese culture and design, Keraton Lounge at Keraton at The Plaza, in downtown Jakarta, positions itself beautifully to attract both the upwardly mobile and the traditionalists of Jakarta’s discerning bar and lounge crowd. Perhaps nothing highlights that juxtaposition better than the impressive range of Indonesian- and Javanese-inspired and influenced cocktails like the Apple Malang Martini. Slightly sweet, slightly tart, the blend of apple syrup, vodka, ginger essence and fresh lime juice makes this a distinctive and very Indonesian take on the classic vodka martini.
