Phuc Le x Ômm Mixology: A Collaboration Between Mixologists

On December 6th, 2025, Ômm Mixology Saigon welcomed Phuc Le, Bar Manager of Hybrid Saigon and Bar57, to a special event — one of those rare guest shift events in HCMC. At Ômm, a guest shift is a moment to experience cocktails from skilled mixologists, where refined cocktail techniques flow in harmony with the rhythm of the room. As a guest bartender, Phuc Le didn’t merely mix; he crafted new signature experiences, blending flavours with narrative to create an artisanal handcrafted mixology journey for every guest.

Four Stories Crafted Through Cocktails

With over a decade of experience, honoured as Opihr Gin Vietnam Champion 2017 and Top 8 of World Class Vietnam 2023, Phuc Le introduced four exclusive creations: Apple, Death in Green, Sidecar on the Ice, and Desperado. Each drink told its own story, reflecting his journey and style.

Apple offered a “feast of apples”: subtly sweet caramel apple, tangy fermented apple, and bold depth of Calvados, all unfolding in delicate layers.

Death in Green brought the forest into the glass, weaving The Botanist gin with pennywort and honeydew to create a mysterious yet refreshing piece of craft cocktails.

Sidecar on the Ice awakened tropical softness before revealing a powerful heart built from Cognac, Sherry, and a classic Sidecar profile. Served over ice with a hint of kumquat, it appeared pristine yet carried a lingering intensity.

Desperado played on contrasts: Islay gin and Mount Gay rum softened by white chocolate, then ignited by fermented chilli. A sensory adventure for guests seeking something unexpected.

Listening to Flavour, Feeling the Music

Throughout the evening, guests immersed themselves in the atmosphere of a true live music cocktail night. Piano, guitar, and saxophone intertwined with the clinking of glasses, enriching the experience inside the contemporary bar. At Ômm, light, sound, and spatial design come together to frame every drink as an intimate moment.

A guest shift at Ômm offers a chance to watch bartenders in action and to explore modern techniques where every shake, pour, or tap is part of the performance. Guests can observe how flavour is shaped, how structure is built, and how each small gesture contributes to a complete sensory expression.

For anyone searching for a cocktail bar in Ho Chi Minh City or looking for a Saigon guest shift event, this is an experience to consider. At Ômm, each cocktail becomes a conversation, transforming the palate into an inspiring instrument for emotion.
