A holiday in Mauritius and a stay in one of our elegant Suites is an opportunity to discover and taste – in moderation – the local spirits and cocktails, watching the crimson colours of the sunset from your terrace.
L’Atelier’s bar favours local ingredients to prepare surprising cocktails. For more authenticity and character, we call upon the best Mauritian producers of rhums, sugar syrups and fruits. By the pool, on your terrace with friends or before dinner at our restaurant L’Atelier, these are some of our residents’ favourite cocktails.
L’Atelier Restaurant offers fresh mojitos made with passion!
From the golden green of its garden-picked mint leaves to the bright yellow of the local lemon, this classic cocktail proudly claims its Mauritian flavours with the sugar syrup of the canes and especially its white rhum from the Domaine de Labourdonnais Distillery.
We keep the classic Mojito recipe and add a touch of acidity and sweetness from the passion fruit, called grenadine in Mauritius. This mauve berry, which grows on a climbing plant, contains a very fragrant orange flesh with a marked flavour and a touch of acidity. Widely used in local cocktails and juices, passion fruit is the ultimate twist to this Passion Mojito.
An explosion of flavours and vibrant colours are the signature of this variation of the classic Mojito, with a focus on local strawberries. This pink cocktail combines the acidity of the lemon, the freshness of the mint leaves and the sweetness of the strawberries.
Mauritius is famous for its delicious home-made rum, but don’t be fooled, let yourself be surprised by other cocktails!
Dark and Stormy: this intriguingly named cocktail combines the sunny, sweet pulp of Victoria pineapple with the deep amber of Dark Rhum produced by the Labourdonnais Distillery. They are aged in a variety of specially selected French and American oak barrels to produce delicious aged rhums. The pineapple juice comes from the Domaine’s orchards, which grow the finest tropical fruits all year round. The final exotic touch is the decorative pineapple, which comes from a local producer.
This fresh and invigorating version of the classic gin and tonic is particularly appreciated by purist enthusiasts. Various gins are available including Bombay Sapphire, The Botanist and Hendrick Scottish gins, which combine perfectly with local rhum and rosemary from the garden.
Our cocktails are an excellent appetizer before dinner. Enjoy the classic but still excellent chicken and prawn curry with white rice and black lentils at L’Atelier or have it delivered to your suite. Discover the list of our cocktails here.
