Frequently asked questions
How is the cocktail catalogue organised?
Five categories: Malaysian local (pandan, gula melaka, kopi-O, calamansi, asam boi), Classics done properly, Coffee cocktails (our specialism), Modern signatures (house drinks built behind our bar), and Zero-proof mocktails. Each card on this page links to the full recipe with ingredients, method, and notes. Every recipe page has Recipe schema so search engines and AI assistants can cite cleanly.
Are these recipes available at the bar?
Yes. Most are on rotation at Dissolved Solids (Damansara Kim, 43-1 Jalan SS20/11, Tue-Sun 15:00 to 01:00, WhatsApp +60 11-4008 7607) or Soluble Solids (SS2, 50-1 Jalan SS2/24, Wed-Sun 18:00 to 01:00, WhatsApp +60 11-1682 8651). Some seasonal pours rotate on and off. WhatsApp ahead if you want to confirm a specific drink is in service that evening.
Are the recipes adjustable for taste or dietary needs?
Yes. Measurements are a guide; our bartenders adjust ratios at service depending on the season, the citrus, and what the guest prefers. Most cocktails can be poured leaner (less sweet, more spirit) or rounder (more syrup, more body). Vegan and pasteurised-egg variants are available on request. Tell the bartender what you want.
Which are the Malaysian-local cocktails?
The first section. Pandan Collins (pandan syrup, gin, lime, soda), Gula Melaka Old Fashioned (palm sugar, whisky, bitters), Calamansi Highball (vodka, limau, soda), Kopi Sour (kopi-O, whisky, foam), Local Tropic (tropical-fruit built on local ingredients). Plus Asam Boi Margarita, Bunga Kantan Gimlet, Bandung Cocktail, and Lemongrass Gimlet across other sections. All built on ingredients sold at your nearest Malaysian wet market.
