In a city that rarely slows down, there’s something quietly transportive about stepping into ATLAS. The soaring Art Deco interiors already feel like a departure from the everyday, but now, there’s an even more compelling reason to linger from afternoon light into the deep hush of night.

Enter Daughters of ATLAS, the bar’s newest cocktail collection: a menu that reads less like a drinks list and more like a celestial narrative. Inspired by the Pleiades, the seven mythological daughters of the Titan Atlas, the new collection unfolds as a series of chapters, each one shaped by the personality and story of a sister. It’s not just thematic storytelling; it’s a deeply considered exploration of mood, flavour, and time.

At the helm is Head Bartender Esmeralda Castrogiovanni, whose personal journey subtly threads through the menu. Having recently moved to Asia, she brings a perspective that feels both intimate and expansive. The result is a collection that balances ATLAS’s signature precision with her own expressive, almost poetic approach to drinks.

Thoughtfully structured, the 16 cocktails progress from non-alcoholic to more spirit-forward creations, mirroring the natural rhythm of a day spent at ATLAS. Whether you arrive for a mid-afternoon pause or a late-night indulgence, there’s a clear sense of flow guiding your choices.

The opening chapter, inspired by Alcyone, leans into clarity and calm with non-alcoholic creations. Cartographer, for instance, pairs a silky banana profile with subtle caramel undertones—preceded by a playful garnish of cookie and chocolate meant to be enjoyed first, setting the stage for what follows.

As the menu deepens, so do the stories. Each cocktail feels like a character study. Each drink is as much about texture and progression as it is about flavour. Even the garnishes are intentional—tiny rituals designed to shape how you experience each sip.

• Golden Hour, inspired by the romantic Merope, is lush and velvety, with sherry and roasted butternut squash layered into something warm and quietly indulgent.
• Wingbeat, channeling Maia’s grounded strength, takes cues from tzatziki—yes, really. Dill-infused gin and a house-made cordial create something herbaceous, clean, and unexpectedly elegant.
• The Doe, a tribute to Taygete’s untamed spirit, is floral and delicate, blending peach, jasmine, and Italian passito wine into a drink that feels almost weightless.
• Apple Aria, guided by Electra’s intensity, plays with contrast—smoky mezcal, crisp green apple, and a hint of elderflower, all lifted by a bright effervescence.
• The Illusionist, representing Celaeno’s shadowy depth, closes the journey with a rich, complex composition inspired by duck à l’orange, complete with rye, cognac, and champagne.

Alongside the new collection, ATLAS continues to honour its legacy with a selection of signature cocktails. Classics like the ATLAS Martini and an array of Gin & Tonics remain staples, but there’s also something new: the Negroni Ritual.

This trio reimagines the iconic cocktail through different historical lenses, from spice-laced interpretations inspired by ancient trade routes to deeper, coffee-tinged expressions that nod to European mercantile culture. It’s a reminder that even the most familiar drinks can still surprise you.

What makes this launch particularly compelling is how seamlessly it fits into the broader ATLAS experience. This is still a place where you might begin with afternoon tea, drift into cocktails, and end the evening under the glow of the towering gin collection.

But Daughters of ATLAS adds a new dimension—one that invites you to slow down, to notice, and to choose your drink not just by what you like, but by how you feel. Because here, every cocktail tells a story, and if you follow them all the way through, you might just find one that feels like your own.
