There is a subtle, undeniable alchemy that happens when a master craftsman steps behind a bar. Cocktails cease to be mere drinks; they transform into liquid narratives, capturing memories, cultural nostalgia, and complex flavor profiles within a single, chilled glass. This June, the social landscape of Central Java is set to experience this artistry firsthand, high above the twinkling lights of the city.
On Saturday, 27 June 2026, ZERU Sky Terrace, the premier rooftop destination at Padma Hotel Semarang, will host "The Art of Mixology Vol. 2." Starting from 9 PM onwards, this exclusive, one-night-only guest shift features one of Indonesia’s most celebrated and influential bar figures: Kiki Moka. Representing the legendary The Cocktail Club Jakarta, Kiki Moka will bring his signature philosophy of cocktail culture to Semarang’s rapidly evolving nightlife scene, creating an elevated social experience where craftsmanship, innovation, and premium spirits converge.
Unexpected Elegance: The Curated Cocktail Journey
Kiki Moka is widely recognized within the regional beverage industry for his deep appreciation of flavor exploration and his ability to subvert classic mixology expectations. For this special iteration at ZERU Sky Terrace, he has designed a bespoke menu that leans heavily into curiosity, utilizing the distinct, botanical complexities of Hendrick's Gin Original and Hendrick's Another Gin.
Instead of predictable sweet and sour profiles, guests will be guided through an avant-garde sensory map that bridges savory experimentation with nostalgic Indonesian heritage. The exclusive menu features three headlining creations:
Tomatini: A masterful exploration of savory complexity, offering an elegant, botanical depth that challenges and delights the traditional palate.
Negroni Piscok: A brilliant, liquid interpretation of the beloved Indonesian street food (pisang cokelat), infusing a timeless, bitter-sweet Italian classic with nostalgic, local chocolate-banana undertones.
Onde-Onde: A whimsical, dessert-forward cocktail that distills the nutty, comforting essence of the traditional sesame seed pastry into a refined, premium serve.
"Great cocktails should spark curiosity," shares Kiki Moka. "For The Art of Mixology at ZERU Sky Terrace, I created a menu that celebrates unexpected flavor combinations while remaining elegant and balanced. Each cocktail is designed to surprise, engage, and create memorable moments above the city lights."
Setting the Standard for Semarang’s Lifestyle Scene
The partnership marks a continuous effort by ZERU Sky Terrace to introduce fresh global perspectives, world-class talent, and highly immersive beverage experiences to Semarang’s discerning socialites and cocktail connoisseurs. By curating events that blur the line between culinary execution and performance art, the venue continues to solidify its reputation as a trendsetting lifestyle oasis.
"At ZERU Sky Terrace, we are passionate about creating memorable experiences that go beyond dining and drinking," explains Muktiasari Kusumawardani, F&B Marketing Manager of Padma Hotel Semarang. "Through collaborations with respected industry figures such as Kiki Moka, we aim to introduce new stories, flavors, and inspirations to our guests while further establishing ZERU as one of Semarang's premier rooftop lifestyle destinations."
Set against the sophisticated, open-air ambiance of the terrace, the evening promises a perfect harmony of lively social energy, refined mixology, and breathtaking panoramic views. Whether you are a dedicated cocktail aficionado looking to discuss flavor extractions with a master bartender or simply seeking a vibrant, upscale Saturday night atmosphere, this guest shift is the definitive place to be.
