Wandering along the beach at sunset in Tuban (South Kuta) I heard the sound of drumming in the distance, like a net, the beat pulled me towards the sound and I found Envy – home of cocktails for the modern age. Seling down at the bar I spoke to Indro, one of the bar- tenders on duty, his first recommendation to me was the Envy Foam, he described it to me as “a simple but radical fusion of vanilla infused vodka, buerscotch schnapps and finished with our homemade buerscotch and cinnamon foam” it sounded too good to miss, so that was the first cocktail on my voyage of discovery. Whilst enjoying my Envy Foam, Jaya was joined at the bar by his boss, Winda, and aſter Jaya introduced me, Winda was more than happy to talk to me about the history of cocktails and the history and development of Envy’s special breed of cocktails. By this time I had drained my Envy Foam dry and was ready to move onto the next cocktail, this time Jaya led me towards their Envy Cappuccino which he told me was “a quirky alcoholic twist on the classic cappuccino, with vod- ka and espresso laced with caramel syrup and kahlua and topped off with a nitrogen charged sweet espresso foam and finally dusted with freshly grated chocolate”. It was amazing, truly the nectar of the caffeine gods. So, dear reader, I can confidently say that I have found my ideal cocktail destination in Bali. Great cocktails, beautiful sunsets and the friendliest staff on the island. What more could anyone want?
