Blah’s cocktail menu, curated by the skilled Dimi Lezinska, brings the world to your glass, offering popular cocktails from across the globe reimagined to suit the vibe of Blah. From Zurich, the Oxeye Fizz combines roasted apricot gin, lavender, and sparkling wine for a floral Swiss escape. La Neta, a Mexico City classic, pairs mezcal, Aperol, and elderflower for a bittersweet citrus hit. Bangkok inspires the nutty and spicy Aroy Mai, where tequila and jackfruit meet pandan and jalapeño. The umami-rich Kushi Sabishi channels Tokyo with sherry, tomato water, and a wasabi kick. Meanwhile, Venice lends its breezy charm to Aragma, a refreshing blend of vodka, strawberry-watermelon balsamic, and grapefruit soda. For non-alcoholic options, Anar from the Middle East bursts with pomegranate and basil, while the Blah Colada, a tropical dream, pairs cranberry with creamy coconut. If you’re in the mood for shots, try the Paan Bomb with its bold paan and pandan liqueur mix or the indulgent Madeleine with amaretto, Kahlua, and pineapple. For something daring, the Mauresque Sour Shot combines absinthe, orgeat, and lemon for a sharp, unforgettable kick.
Blah Santacruz’s experiential 12-seater private dining room (PDR) offers a unique setting where every cocktail brings a fascinating story from around the world to your table. The exclusive menu pairs perfectly with curated food and lively background music.
