A sensorial journey through Peru, told one cocktail at a time
COYA Restaurant & Bar unveils a new sensorial chapter with the launch of The Spirits of Peru, its Global Bar Menu series, beginning with its first edition, Madre Tierra, an immersive exploration of Peru’s diverse landscapes, traditions, and flavours. The Spirits of Peru: Madre Tierra will be introduced first at the Pisco Bar in COYA Mayfair and COYA City on 25 February, before travelling across COYA destinations worldwide, from Monte Carlo to Marbella and beyond.
Rooted in Latin America’s vibrant spirit and COYA’s deep connection to Peru, The Spirits of Peru: Madre Tierra blends storytelling with contemporary mixology. At its heart is Camila de Quilla, a modern explorer retracing her heritage through Peru’s defining geographies. As she journeys across the country, each landscape reveals itself through evocative flavour profiles, textures, and aromas, transforming memories into cocktails that speak to the senses. Through her journal, Camila captures these discoveries and translates them into cocktails, honouring her lineage and her connection to COYA’s spirit and Peru’s heritage.
Camila begins along La Costa, Peru’s Pacific coastline, where the rhythm of the sea meets bright citrus and savoury depth. Cocktails such as La Mar, Agua de Chifa and Donna Luisa, express sour and umami-led flavours inspired by coastal traditions. Rising into La Sierra, the Andean highlands unfold with bold, spicy, and spirited creations, including Arcoíris, La Rueda, Divino, and Earl of Agave, capturing the warmth, altitude, and strength of the mountains. The journey culminates in La Selva, the Amazon rainforest, where lush greenery, rainfall, and vitality come to life through herbal, fruity, and refreshing cocktails, including Tesoro del Campo, Coco y Choclo, Hay-Agua-Ska, and Hualo.
The Spirits of Peru: Madre Tierra features 12 alcoholic cocktails, alongside four non-alcoholic cocktails crafted with the same creativity, balance, and attention to detail as the signature serves. At the heart of the experience are COYA’s iconic, homemade Piscoinfusions, time-honoured expressions that celebrate Peru’s heritage and continue to shape the brand’s global identity.
Alongside the core collection, COYA City features additional serves including Las Brisas, Ume Samui and Sandia Picosa, expanding the Madre Tierra narrative through fresh flavour profiles and contemporary influences.
The Spirits of Peru marks the first chapter of an evolving annual series, with future editions set to reinterpret Peru through new narratives, ingredients, and creative perspectives, while remaining rooted in the spirit and legacy of the Pisco Bar. “Each cocktail on The Spirits of Peru: Madre Tierra is a chapter of a journey through Peru,” says Sany Bacsi, Global Bar Manager at COYA. “From the brightness of the coast to the stillness of the Andes and the vibrancy of the Amazon, we wanted to translate not just flavours, but emotions, memories, and a sense of place. This menu is an invitation to explore Peru through the senses, while staying true to the soul of the Pisco Bar and COYA’s heritage.”
The menu has been crafted by COYA’s bar team, led by visionary Grégoire Schnerb, Head of Mixology, and Sany Bacsi, Global Bar Manager. Shaped by extensive research, multiple journeys through Peru, and a deep exploration of native ingredients and techniques, Madre Tierra is a poetic yet contemporary interpretation of Peru, designed to be discovered, shared, and experienced.
