A Year of Ômm Mixology: Embracing Time with "Time In A Bottle"

On May 23, 2026, Ômm Mixology marks its first anniversary with a special guest shift event, "Time In A Bottle." Tucked away from the rush of the city, our speakeasy cocktail bar in Ho Chi Minh City opens its doors as a quiet retreat, inviting you to slow down and revisit forgotten memories through the art of craft cocktails.

The Intersection of Disco Energy and Vintage Spirits

At the heart of "Time In A Bottle" is an inspiring pairing: a rare collection of vintage spirits and the vibrant visual energy of the 1970s Disco era. Drawing upon the free-spirited nature of disco as a catalyst, the evening breathes new life into bottles shaped by the passage of time.

This contrast creates a thoughtful cultural touchpoint. It is a space where heritage is honored through an energetic lens, yet retains its peaceful, original essence.

A Gathering of Craftsmanship

Guiding this journey are two esteemed guests from Japan: Manabu Ito (Head Bartender at Mixology Heritage) and Kaoru Takai (Manager and cocktail creator at Mixology Akasaka). Bringing their profound understanding of vintage cocktails and contemporary Tokyo mixology techniques, they will gently awaken flavors that have been resting for decades.

A Map of Memories – The Luxury of Lingering

The event menu serves as a visual map of time, where each drink is a memory retold through timeless classic cocktails:

• 1970s - Crown Royal 1975: Upon the first sip, a Vintage Manhattan whispers the story of the Waterloo distillery, a historic name now resting in peace.

• 1990s - Amaretto di Saronno: We visit the gentle 1990s through the form of a Vintage Godfather, preserving the warmth of that era.

• 2000s - Gordon's Dry Gin 2000: Carrying the story of the distillery's historic 1998 transition to Cameronbridge, awakened fully in the elegant simplicity of The 2000 Martini.

During this guest shift, you are encouraged to stroll unhurriedly through the decades, pausing at any era that speaks to you. This nostalgic experience flows seamlessly alongside our signature Tea Cocktails, deeply rooted in Ômm's primitive philosophy.

A Place to Slow Down

As the evening draws to a close and the echoes of the past settle, we hope what lingers is a quiet joy. "Time In A Bottle" carries a gentle message from Ômm: may this space always remain a sanctuary to slow down, where every drinking experience and personal story is thoroughly respected and cherished.
