Volume 2 | 2026

A Journey Through Asia

Volume 1 celebrated the timeless classics that shaped modern cocktail culture—honoring tradition, craftsmanship, and the perspective of forty floors above San Diego Bay.

Volume 2 continues that journey.

Inspired by flavors across Asia and created to accompany sushi, this collection moves from bright citrus and floral aromatics to tea, tropical fruit, spice, and umami. Classic cocktail forms meet modern gastronomy through infusion, clarification, carbonation, smoke, and texture.

Each drink is designed to be precise, playful, and expressive—from the first sip to the final pour.

Curated forty floors above San Diego Bay, this is Top of the Hyatt’s contemporary expression of Asian-inspired drinking: thoughtful technique, distinctive flavor, and the freedom to surprise.
