We care about every ingredient that goes into your cocktail!

Because what’s in your glass should never be an afterthought.

At Lost in Translation, there’s no room for shortcuts. No cheap alcohol, no artificial fillers, just honest spirits and carefully chosen ingredients that actually belong together.

We believe in simplicity, inspired by Japanese culture: where less is more, and every detail matters. Simple doesn’t mean basic, it means intentional. It means sourcing fresh, quality products and letting them speak for themselves.

Clean flavours. Thoughtful balance. Nothing unnecessary.

In Sri Lanka, tea is more than a drink, it’s part of our identity, our history, and the stories shared around every table. From the misty hills of Nuwara Eliya to the bold low-grown teas of Ruhuna, every region carries a flavour of home.

This International Tea Day, Lost in Translation, in collaboration with Basilur Tea, celebrates the richness of Ceylon Tea through seven signature cocktails inspired by Sri Lanka’s iconic tea-growing regions. Using teas sourced by Basilur from all seven regions, each cocktail is crafted to showcase the unique character and flavour profile of its origin.

A tribute to the leaf that connected generations, cultures, conversations, and now… cocktails.

Here’s to Sri Lankan tea: reimagined, celebrated, and shared. 🍸✨

Saw her in my dreams last night…
and no, she wasn’t having a sake no hana 😉

She was right here at Lost in Translation,
something a little sweeter in hand, a little stronger on the palate,
and just the right kind of trouble to keep you coming back for more 🍓✨

Some drinks you forget… this isn’t one of them.

Slaps you hard, just like a Japanese slipper would do 😉

Sam’s inspiration behind the name comes from exactly that: a hit of bold, punchy flavours that come in fast and unforgettable, just like a Japanese Slipper to the face 😏

Sour, bright, and unapologetically loud on the palate, with a kick of Triple sec that doesn’t ask for permission.

One sip and you’ll get it.

Meet Saboten No Namida 🍉🌶️✨

Our take on a Picante. Watermelon, a hint of chamoi, tequila, and a rosemary syrup twist. Finished with a togarashi & salt rim for just the right kick.

Refreshing, bold, and perfectly balanced. Spicy, but never too spicy. Ready to take your taste buds on a ride? 🍸

"Smoky, bold, and seriously addictive… Our Burnt Edamame is the kind of bar bite that keeps you reaching for more 🔥

Perfectly charred and packed with flavor, it pairs effortlessly with our Japanese-inspired cocktails, bringing out those deep, umami notes with every sip and bite.

If you’re looking for your next go-to at the bar… this is it.
