At Enso, every detail matters. One way we reflect this is through our choice of glassware, like the Hanyu from . Crafted from crystal glass, the Hanyu features a distinct funnel shape designed to allow alcohol to aerate and open up, enhancing its aromas much like a wine decanter. It’s a subtle difference that has a noticeable impact. This is just one of the many ways we focus on the finer points, elevating each pour and every experience.

Pip’s Potable is a bright, non-alcoholic cocktail crafted with watermelon, calpico, yuzu, mint, and ultra-carbonated soda. Light and incredibly refreshing, it offers the perfect balance of subtle fruit and citrus with a crisp, clean finish. Visually beautiful and thoughtfully composed, this is a drink anyone can enjoy. We suggest sipping it slowly on the patio, where the flavors feel right at home!

It’s perfectly chilled, expertly balanced, and garnished with care. Southern strength meets Japanese nuance in this refreshingly layered drink that is bright, floral, and made for the patio. A thoughtful drink for summer afternoons that deserve a shift in rhythm.
