Synonymous with elegance and sophistication, Orchid is unsurprisingly also the birthplace of some of the most unique cocktails. In 2011, we published our first cocktail book, The Spirits of Orchid, inspired by and infused with the tastes and flavors of Orchid. Featuring Punches, Sangrias, Mojitos, and a variety of international cocktails, each drink is classically prepared or reimagined to embody Orchid’s spirit and is rare in its individuality, originality, and passion.
From the classic to the modern, the book presents a variety of drinks, offering them to the reader in a simple and accessible way. In addition to documenting the origins of many cocktails and mixed drinks, it also chronicles the stories behind their creation. The recipes are user-friendly, and the techniques straightforward.
The Spirits of Orchid is more than a reference guide; it's a concocter's companion and a source of enjoyment. We like to think of it as a little piece of Orchid you can keep with you all year round.
Orchid’s distinctiveness did not merely set it apart from other resorts in the region, it went all the way to inspire prominent artists to privilege it in their own way. In May 2010, Guy Manoukian* released “Orchid”, a music CD mixed by Benjamin Joubert, that evokes Orchid’s mood and feel, a music that moves you and reminds you of what Orchid is all about, an auditory experience that captures the spirit of Orchid.
The CD was an instant success and its music is played not only in the lounge bars and night clubs of Lebanon and the region, but all around Europe as well.
*Guy Manoukian is a renowned Lebanese-Armenian musician, composer and pianist whose music reached an international scope. Manoukian also produces music and sound design for films, artists, concept albums and advertisements.
