Chapter 1: Moon Sipper Club Lights up the Night
 
Our inaugural event featured a collaboration with Moon Sipper Club, where sustainable cocktails took center stage. Imagine sipping your drink under pink and golden skies, overlooking lush rice paddy fields and a hot air balloon drifting gently above. With a curated playlist of soft lounge tunes, the atmosphere was nothing short of magical.

Moon Sipper Club, known for its commitment to sustainability, served up some of its signature concoctions, crafted by Yura Purnami. "The Golden Hour" danced with flavors of spiced rum, licorice, and cherry brandy, while "Chiara Negroni" added a tropical twist to the classic cocktail. The "Banyu Bening" was a delightful blend of Bali’s finest crafted Arak with homemade pandan syrup, a taste of the island’s essence.

Speaking of Arak, Bali's finest crafted Arak - Karusotju supported the evening by treating guests to complimentary tastings of their finest products, made from locally grown sweet potatoes, known as "honey yam,". When paired with spring water from Mount Batukaru, and goes through a slow maturation fermentation process in a breeze climate,  it results in a smooth and delicate Arak.

Executive Chef Dean showcased some of The Tempayan's signature dishes, including the Balinese Urutan, Tuna with Sambal Matah, Tanah Gajah Club sandwich, and Chef Dean's legendary aglio olio pasta. It was a culinary journey that left taste buds tingling and heart's content.
