At The Dharmawangsa Jakarta, The Bar exudes a luxurious experience, blending tradition and modern elegance. Central to the hotel is The Majapahit Hall, a tranquil space featuring a stunning 14th-century house temple. From this hall, guests can access four beautifully designed lounges, each with its own distinct character and charm. These lounges include the Tea Lounge, perfect for a relaxed afternoon tea, the sophisticated Caviar Lounge for cocktails, and The Library, where traditional acoustic music sets the tone for a serene environment. However, it is The Bar that stands out, especially for its celebrated Chocolate Martini.
The Dharmawangsa’s Chocolate Martini has been delighting guests for over two decades. This signature cocktail is a perfect blend of rich flavours and smooth textures, offering a unique taste experience. The drink combines the finest vodka with crème de cacao blanc and a chocolate ganache rim, finished with a base of Hershey’s chocolate. Each sip offers layers of chocolate richness, balanced with just the right amount of sweetness and alcohol, making it a true delight for the palate.
Since its creation in 1997, the Chocolate Martini has become a staple of The Dharmawangsa Jakarta. Over the years, slight adjustments have been made to the recipe to accommodate the availability of ingredients, but the essence of the original creation has remained unchanged. This year, the hotel is exploring the use of locally sourced chocolate to enhance the cocktail’s authenticity and support local producers, all while maintaining its renowned flavour.
The Chocolate Martini at The Dharmawangsa Jakarta is not just a drink; it is an experience. Guests can request a special presentation where a skilled mixologist crafts the cocktail tableside using a gueridon. This interactive element showcases expert techniques and provides an educational insight into the art of mixology. For those who are inspired by this experience, The Dharmawangsa Jakarta offers exclusive mixology classes. Participants have the opportunity to learn how to create the perfect Chocolate Martini under the guidance of expert mixologists, making it a memorable activity.
