What is a Tailor-Made Cocktail?


A tailor-made cocktail (also called custom or bespoke cocktail) is a drink created especially for you by our expert mixology team. Unlike ordering from a standard menu, you don't choose from a fixed list.


You share your preferences, and we create your unique recipe on the spot. It's the ultimate experience for cocktail enthusiasts who want to discover new flavors perfectly suited to their palate.


Tailor-made cocktails at Plumette include:


  • Premium spirits selected according to your taste

  • House-made and seasonal ingredients

  • Elegant Art Deco-inspired presentation

  • Personalized advice from our expert bartenders



How to Order a Custom Cocktail at Plumette

The process is simple and friendly. Here are the steps to get your tailor-made cocktail in Brussels:


Step 1: Talk with Our Mixologist

Take a seat at the bar and start a conversation. Our mixologists are passionate and love creating unique drinks. No special reservation needed—this service is available every evening from 5pm to 2am, Wednesday through Sunday.


Step 2: Describe Your Preferences

Share this information with your bartender:


  • Preferred spirit base: gin, vodka, rum, whisky, tequila?

  • Flavor profile: fruity, spicy, herbal, smoky, floral?

  • Desired intensity: light and refreshing or bold and powerful?

  • Tastes to avoid: too sweet, too bitter, citrus, mint?


Not an expert? No problem. Simply say: "I like smooth flavors with a fruity touch" or "I'm looking for something surprising and spicy." Our team knows how to translate your desires into perfect recipes.


Step 3: Let the Magic Happen

Your mixologist will compose your cocktail right in front of you. It's a show in itself: shaker techniques, precise measurements, creative garnishes. You'll watch your unique drink come to life.


The preparation time is usually 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the complexity of the creation.


Step 4: Taste and Adjust if Needed

Taste your creation. Too strong? Not sweet enough? We can adjust on request. The goal is your absolute satisfaction.

Our mixologists have years of experience. If you're hesitating between two directions, trust them to guide you toward the option you'll enjoy most.

The best discoveries happen when you step out of your comfort zone. If your bartender suggests a surprising ingredient, try the experience.

On Wednesdays and Thursdays, our bar is calmer. You'll have even more time to chat with our mixologists and refine your creation.
