COYA announces new Pisco Bar Menus

Their world renowned Pisco Bars draws inspiration from the oldest, fun, buzzing bars in Lima, Peru. Developing on its heritage of Pisco infusions as well as commitment to the arts, COYA is bringing to life a progressive vision for its Pisco Bar worldwide, recreating the vibe of the iconic Peruvian bars with their own bright, colourful and lively locations.

While all COYA locations globally have a Pisco Bar, each one houses its very own, unique, pisco library; in London, these are some of the largest. COYA’s expert mixologists have created these in order to offer a diverse selection of infusions, which feature fine and rare tequilas and an extensive rum variety, ensuring the cocktail list is truly one of a kind. 

The national spirit of Peru, Pisco is a delicate liquid that has the soul of tequila, the complexity of gin and the versatility of vodka. Following the team’s first trip to Peru, they were introduced to the traditional way of cold infusions, known as the Macerados system. COYA’s Pisco Library showcases multiple flavour combinations that are prepared and cared for daily. This helps enhance the experience of COYA’s classic Pisco cocktails and has been instrumental in finding new and improved ways to introduce Pisco to the world.

The new bar menus come to life with distinguished elements of design and refined finishing that honour the founding days of COYA. The front page of the menu specially reflects the original Peruvian photography of Martin Chambi, recognised for the profound historic images of the countryside and towns of the Peruvian Andes. Martin’s art is an integral part of COYA, which bore witness to the launch of many of COYA’s venue launches – it is an inherent part of COYA’s DNA. The colours of blue and gold pay homage to COYA’s brand identity, being the very first design elements of COYA’s Pisco Bar since the founding days of the brand in Mayfair in 2012. 

Sany Bacsi, COYA’s Corporate Bar Manager, comments: “As COYA has matured, we are now confident enough to introduce our own take on Pisco cocktails to the world. We worked with prestigious French house Sella Concept to incorporate Martin Chambi’s work into contemporary art pieces especially for the pages of the Pisco Bar Menu. Spirited Animals Group and Jonathan Varcoe also helped bring our creative vision for the artwork of the Pisco Bar Menus to life.”

The Pisco Bars are a one stop destination where guests can drink, connect and party. This new menu is more distinguished than ever, focusing on COYA’s Peruvian heritage with dominating Latin-American spirits. 

The intricate details and striking embossing of the menus will make it hard for guests to not want to take them home as keepsakes of a spectacular evening. COYA’s Pisco Bars at Mayfair and City are the ideal location for an early evening pre-dinner drink spot, or a luxurious place to spend a full evening partying. Guests will enjoy sipping on these unique cocktails against the backdrop of  COYA’s dynamic music. An intimate spot that will prove hard to leave at the end of the night.
