Cosmo Pony has taken inspiration from Jakarta’s street food stalls, markets and everyday food culture for Jakarta: Unfiltered, its third [cocktail menu](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deja-vu-cocktail-menu) at the Grand Hyatt Jakarta. Presented as a menuzine, the collection features 21 drinks that give guests a taste of the city through [familiar local ingredients](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neighborhood-cocktail-menu) and dishes. Among them is the Jasuke Martini, inspired by a popular street snack of corn, cheese and condensed milk, and the Ugly Bananas, a [whisky sour made with overripe bananas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/butter-chicken-cocktail). Rather than simply borrowing local names, the drinks reinterpret these everyday flavours as cocktails, including ingredients that might otherwise go to waste. The menu also includes zero-proof options and larger-format drinks, bringing different ways to enjoy the collection into the same Jakarta-inspired theme. Its menuzine format gives the drinks a wider story, drawing on the city beyond the usual tourist references.
