At House of Tugu Jakarta, cocktails are crafted as cultural narratives. Bird of a Feather is an iconic storytelling gin cocktail in Jakarta, inspired by the historic alleys of Glodok and Petak Sembilan, long known for their Chinese-Indonesian bird-keeping traditions and vibrant market life.
This signature gin cocktail reflects a time when vendors sold songbirds such as burung kicau, perkutut, and murai batu, displayed in handcrafted bamboo cages. Bird-keeping was a daily ritual influenced by southern Chinese culture, symbolizing harmony and patience—values translated into this refined cocktail experience.
Built on Pomelo Gin, the cocktail layers passionfruit purée, calamansi juice and calamansi gomme, fresh lime chunks, and mint leaves for bright, tropical freshness, balanced with all spice syrup for warmth and depth. Served in a distinctive bird-shaped glass, the presentation enhances its visual appeal and reinforces the cocktail’s avian inspiration.
More than a drink, Bird of a Feather is a heritage-inspired cocktail in Jakarta, ideal for cocktail enthusiasts, cultural explorers, and travelers seeking unique cocktails at House of Tugu Jakarta. It exemplifies the venue’s philosophy—where every cocktail tells a story.
