The lab

Sustainability as an experiment

Summer Experiment runs the bar like a laboratory: citrus husks become ingredients, surplus becomes syrup, everything measured to the gram. Zero-waste here isn't a slogan — it's how every drink is born.

  1. Ingredients, rebornCitrus husks, fruit pulp, and what looks like waste are fermented, redistilled, or dried into new bar ingredients.
  2. Not a drop wastedEvery drink is designed backwards from surplus — today's juice is tomorrow's garnish.
  3. The season decides the menuThe menu rotates with the seasons and what's freshest — every season a new run of experiments.

The experimental pours

No theatrics, no noise — just lab precision in glassware: reborn ingredients, hands-on techniques, and one season-long experiment always running.
