Sexy Fish, the world-renowned Japanese-inspired restaurant and bar known for its award-winning, boundary-pushing drinks programme, launches Depths, a new global cocktail menu inspired by the ever-changing world beneath the ocean’s surface.
Launching simultaneously across London, Manchester, Miami and Dubai on 8 October, Depths marks the latest chapter in Sexy Fish’s evolution as a global bar destination. Developed collectively by the teams across all four cities, the menu has been created with the guest experience as its starting point, exploring how an evening naturally shifts in mood and energy – from the first aperitif through dinner and after dinner, to the late-night party.
Drawing on the changing light, atmosphere and energy of the ocean, Depths follows four distinct chapters – Surface, Sunlight, Twilight and Abyss – each reflecting a different moment of the evening.
THE FOUR DEPTHS:
SURFACE opens the journey with bright, crisp cocktails designed to awaken the palate, lift the mood and create anticipation for what lies ahead.
- Friendly Fire – Casamigos Mezcal, bell pepper, passionfruit, coconut
- Open Your Eyes – Haku Vodka, Aperol, thyme, strawberry, verjus
- Champagne: Gosset Grand Blanc de Blancs N.V.
As the evening progresses, SUNLIGHT brings colour and energy to the table, with beautifully balanced cocktails designed to complement Sexy Fish’s Japanese-inspired cuisine and the rich, aromatic and umami-led flavours of the menu.
- Mariaju- St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur, Martini Vibrante, rhubarb, oyster leaf, slimline tonic
- Another Matcha? – Another Hendrick’s Gin, matcha, yuzu, Curaçao
- Champagne: Bollinger – PN VZ19
TWILIGHT marks a shift in pace, with richer, more contemplative cocktails made for conversation and the hours that unfold after dinner.
- Reverie – Zacapa No.23 Rum, chai, coconut, coffee, pineapple
- Halcyon – Grey Goose Vodka, chamomile, pandan, passion fruit, yoghurt
- Champagne: Ruinart Rosé N.V.
Finally, ABYSS descends to the ocean floor, where sunlight gives way to strange illuminations. The music grows louder, the cocktails become bolder and the night becomes increasingly energetic as the experience shifts into the late-night party.
- You Had Me at Mango- Cygnet 22 Gin, mango, elderberry wine, fig leaf soda
- Coral Margarita – Casamigos Blanco Tequila, yuzushu, watermelon, wasabi
- Champagne: Dom Pérignon Luminous 2015
The menu has also been designed with choice at its heart. Across each chapter, guests will find full-strength cocktails alongside mid-strength and no-alcohol options, creating a drinks experience that is deliberately more inclusive without compromising on creativity, technique, or presentation.
A defining feature of Depths is the integration of Champagne with cocktails on the menu, reflecting its longstanding importance to the Sexy Fish experience. Already a cornerstone of Sexy Fish’s wine programme, Champagne now sits alongside the cocktails across each stage of the evening – from bright, aperitif-friendly styles and richer, gastronomic Champagnes chosen to complement the restaurant’s umami-led cuisine, through to celebratory serves designed for the late-night atmosphere.
Depths has been developed by Xavier Landais, Director of Beverage at Caprice Holdings, in collaboration with the bar teams across London, Manchester, Miami, and Dubai. The culmination of months of collaboration, tasting, and development, the menu brings together the collective expertise of Sexy Fish’s four global bars, with each location contributing to the final menu. As part of the development process, Head Bartenders from each city came together in London at Sexy Fish’s Bar Laboratory, tasting and refining around 60 drinks before arriving at the final selection.
Xavier Landais, Director of Beverage, Caprice Holdings: “Depths is a really exciting evolution for Sexy Fish. We wanted to create a menu that feels completely true to the brand, while looking at the experience from the guest’s perspective – how a night at Sexy Fish naturally moves from the first drink through dinner and into the late night. Bringing our teams from London, Manchester, Miami and Dubai together was a huge part of that process, and the menu is a genuine reflection of the creativity and expertise across all four bars. We’ve continued to push ourselves technically, but always with flavour and drinkability at the centre. Depths brings together that balance of creativity, precision, and a sense of theatre that we believe defines the Sexy Fish bar experience.”
Depths continues the evolution of a bar programme that has established Sexy Fish as one of the world’s leading restaurant bar destinations. From its award-winning cocktail menus and renowned Champagne programme to its unrivalled Japanese whisky collection, Sexy Fish has spent the last decade at the forefront of the international bar and restaurant scene. All four Sexy Fish locations hold at least one Pinnacle Guide Pin, with Sexy Fish London recently becoming one of the first bars globally to progress from one to two Pins following the guide’s inaugural reappraisal cycle. In 2022, Sexy Fish London was also named International Best Restaurant Bar.
Depths launches globally at Sexy Fish London, Manchester, Miami, and Dubai from 8 October 2026.
