In 2025, Le Grand Mazarin unveils a new cocktail menu at its restaurant Boubalé — a true invitation to escape. Inspired by the legendary tales of the Arabian Nights, these unique creations transform each glass into a story to be savoured. With rare ingredients, a cosy atmosphere and festive evenings, discover an experience where the cocktail becomes far more than a simple drink: a sensory journey, where spirits and flavours unite in perfect harmony.
A Cocktail Menu Inspired by the Arabian Nights
The new cocktail list at Boubalé has been designed like a collection of oriental tales. Each cocktail tells its own legend, evoking a mysterious palace, a lemon-scented garden, or a heady spice market. The original recipes blend French elegance with oriental flavours, sometimes combining aromatic gin, golden rum, or a touch of crystalline vodka to create subtle pairings. Fruity notes, such as orange, bring freshness and brightness to certain drinks. Refined ingredients — from perfumed syrups to delicate flowers and premium spirits — give each creation its own unique intensity. Like a storybook, the menu unfolds chapter after chapter in liquid form, elegantly brought to life by the mixologists’ shakers.
Exclusive Creations for a Unique Sensory Experience
Beyond taste, each cocktail has been conceived as a multi-sensory experience. Flavours are crafted with precision, balancing the zesty freshness of lemon, the roundness of homemade syrups, and the intensity of carefully selected spirits. The mixologists at Le Grand Mazarin employ a range of techniques — from the energetic shake to the delicate art of dilution. Some cocktails highlight the strength of peated whisky, while others refine the classics with a contemporary twist.
Visual appeal is equally important: elegant glasses reveal dazzling colours, enhanced by crystal-clear ice. Aromas unfold through orange zest, aromatic herbs, and the subtle notes of premium spirits. Each creation thus illustrates the art of blending the traditions of great international bars with the poetic allure of the Arabian Nights.
A Luxury Hotel Bar in the Heart of the Parisian Marais
Le Grand Mazarin is more than a luxury hotel: it embodies an elegant and artistic Parisian home. Its bar, where this cocktail menu comes to life, is set in one of the capital’s most iconic districts — the Marais. In this refined setting, guests can enjoy sophisticated creations with gin or rum, as well as alcohol-free mocktails crafted with the same care and techniques as traditional cocktails.
The prestigious surroundings of Le Grand Mazarin enhance the experience, inviting every visitor to savour their drink in an elegant atmosphere. Surrounded by art galleries, museums, and lively cobbled streets, the bar becomes the ideal place to discover recipes inspired by the Arabian Nights — whether a reinvented classic or a contemporary creation.
An Evening Carried by DJ Sets and Cabaret
Enjoying a cocktail at Boubalé is just the beginning. As night falls, Le Grand Mazarin transforms into a vibrant celebration. DJ sets bring a modern, electric touch, while cabaret performers extend the enchantment. Over a final drink — be it a martini, a refined whisky, or an alcohol-free mocktail — guests are swept away by the energy of the moment. This fusion of flavours and entertainment perfectly embodies the spirit of Le Grand Mazarin, where bars become living stages blending performance with indulgence.
Reservations and Tips for Discovering the New Cocktail Menu
Depending on your preferences, Boubalé’s mixologists will guide you towards the cocktail best suited to your taste.
