COYA, the Gault&Millau UAE-recognised Latin American restaurant and bar, has introduced an exciting new Global Bar Menu series that brings international destinations to life through creative drinks.
The first edition of the series, titled “Madre Tierra”, highlights the vibrant tropical flavours, landscapes, and cultural heritage of Peru. Now available at COYA’s Dubai and Abu Dhabi locations, the menu offers guests a unique way to experience Peruvian-inspired mixology without leaving the UAE.
This new concept is set to roll out globally in stages, introducing COYA’s signature storytelling approach to bars around the world.
A Cocktail Journey Through Peru
The “Madre Tierra” menu is inspired by Peru’s diverse geography and rich culinary traditions. It draws from three key regions that shape the country’s identity:
- La Costa – the coastal region known for fresh, bright flavours
- La Sierra – the Andean highlands with bold, earthy influences
- La Selva – the Amazon rainforest, rich in tropical and botanical ingredients
Each region inspires a distinct style of drink, with the bar team translating local ingredients and cultural influences into carefully crafted cocktails.
The result is a menu that feels like a journey through Peru’s landscapes, offering guests a taste experience rooted in authenticity and creativity.
What’s on the New Global Bar Menu?
The new COYA bar menu features a total of 12 drinks, designed to showcase both innovation and tradition.
- 9 signature cocktails inspired by Peru’s regions and flavours
- 3 UAE-exclusive creations, available only at COYA’s Middle East locations
- 4 zero-proof (non-alcoholic) options, designed with the same depth and creativity as the cocktails
Each drink is crafted to reflect a specific element of Peruvian culture, whether it’s a coastal citrus note, an Andean herbal infusion, or an Amazonian tropical twist.
The inclusion of non-alcoholic options ensures that the experience is inclusive, allowing all guests to enjoy the same level of craftsmanship regardless of preference.
UAE-Exclusive Creations
One of the standout features of the Madre Tierra menu is its exclusive selection of drinks available only in the UAE.
These three special cocktails are designed specifically for COYA’s Dubai and Abu Dhabi venues, giving local guests something unique that cannot be found elsewhere in the world.
Each exclusive drink represents a different Peruvian region, making the UAE locations a key destination for experiencing the full depth of the menu.
Signature House Infusions Return
COYA’s well-known house-made Peruvian infusions also continue to play a central role in the new menu.
These infusions have long been part of the brand’s identity, adding depth and authenticity to its cocktail offerings. In the new Global Bar Menu, they remain a key foundation, blending seamlessly with the newly introduced regional inspirations.
The result is a balance between COYA’s classic bar identity and a fresh, globally inspired concept.
Crafted by Expert Mixologists
The menu has been developed by COYA’s UAE-based bar team, led by:
- Grégoire Schnerb, Head of Mixology
- Sany Bacsi, Global Bar Manager
Their work is based on extensive research, ingredient exploration, and direct travel experiences in Peru. This hands-on approach has allowed the team to translate real cultural and culinary influences into the drinks on the menu.
Every cocktail reflects careful attention to detail, from ingredient selection to presentation, ensuring that each drink tells a story.

The “Madre Tierra” menu marks the beginning of COYA’s broader Global Bar Menu series. Each future edition will focus on a different region of the world, continuing the concept of exploring global cultures through mixology.
The series is designed to evolve over time, offering guests new experiences and seasonal inspiration with each release.
