Maristar Launches New Starlight Hours Cocktails

You may be familiar with Sundown Hours at Marini’s on 57, the well-known evening cocktail happy hour punctuated by smooth house tunes, but now the trendsetting Marini’s Group has introduced a similar concept at sister outlet Maristar. The bustling Bukit Bintang area in Kuala Lumpur offers the bon vivant numerous food and drink choices throughout the day, so for those looking for an enjoyable evening, Maristar at The Starhill offers delicious drinks, good food and a respite from the rush hour madness.

The caviar seafood bar and fashion lounge has introduced Starlight Hours, where guests can enjoy signature cocktails and more in the al fresco area or in cool, chic comfort indoors.

During Maristar’s Starlight Hours – which run from 5pm to 9pm daily – guests will be able to sit back and sip on the new signature cocktails which offer a little something for everyone. Among these tasty tipples are some classics with a Maristar twist.

Need a pick-me-up after a long day? Then start off with the Espresso Martini, a refreshing combination of Absolut Blue, Kahlua, espresso coffee, and vanilla syrup. If you’re looking for something to hit the sweet spot, the CornStar is a rum cocktail with splashes of corn syrup, and lemon juice.

The Maristar Melon, on the other hand, is a fruity and unique-tasting option – this rock melon-based drink has Midori liqueur and rosemary syrup, and is garnished with melon stars.

Those who prefer their drinks to have a splash of whisky can opt for a Tamrindho or Tropic Hunter. Tamrindho is a Johnnie Walker Black Label Scotch whisky sour with a tamarind twist, while Tropic Hunter is Maristar’s unique take on a jungle bird cocktail as it also has Jameson Irish whiskey.

The new Maristar Starlight Hours cocktails are priced between RM32++ and RM38++, while the Espresso Martini is RM45++.

Maristar is open from 4.00pm to midnight daily, with lunch hours running from 12.30pm to 3.00pm from Fridays to Sundays. For more information on Maristar, visit https://marinisgroup.com/maristar or follow them on Instagram (www.instagram.com/maristarkl).
