The drinks list · Cardiff
The Kapu menu.
Rum-led, fresh and made by hand. The list evolves with the seasons and the bar's mood — these are the serves we come back to. Ask the bar what's landing well tonight.
Signature tiki serves
The classics, done properly.
The great tiki drinks — layered, aromatic and finished by hand — alongside a few of the bar's own. Built to be sipped slowly.
-
Mai Tai
Aged and agricole rums, fresh lime, orgeat and orange curaçao. The one that started it all.
-
Zombie
A closely-guarded blend of rums with falernum, warm spice and citrus, and a whisper of absinthe. One is plenty.
-
Painkiller
Navy rum with pressed pineapple, orange and coconut, dusted with fresh nutmeg.
-
Jungle Bird
Dark rum and bitter aperitivo cut with pineapple and lime — bittersweet and tropical.
-
Three Dots & a Dash
Aged rum, falernum, allspice, honey and citrus. Bright, spiced and dangerously easy.
-
Rum Old Fashioned
Pot-still rum, demerara and aromatic bitters, stirred down and slow.
Rum, explored
A shelf that takes rum seriously.
From soft and grassy to deep and smoky. For the curious and the committed — let the bar guide you.
-
The Kapu rum flight
Three considered pours, guided by the bar — a journey from light and grassy to dark and smoky.
-
Daiquiri
Just rum, lime and sugar in perfect balance. A bartender's benchmark.
-
Rum & ginger
Your choice of rum lengthened with fiery ginger and a squeeze of lime. Simple, and very good.
-
Neat & considered
Ask to explore the shelf — sipping rums from across the Caribbean and beyond, poured to taste.
Fresh & low / no
Bright, fruit-forward, considered.
Nobody sits with a sad glass at Kapu — drinking or not. Every serve here is made with the same care as the rest.
-
Piña Colada
Pineapple, coconut and rum, blended smooth. Sunshine in a glass.
-
Tropical spritz
Bright citrus, bitter aperitivo and soda over ice. Long, light and easy.
-
Island cooler No alcohol
Fresh tropical juices, lime and soda — every bit as considered as the rest of the list.
-
Virgin Painkiller No alcohol
Pineapple, orange and coconut with a dusting of nutmeg. The Painkiller, without the rum.
Some serves are seasonal and the list keeps moving — ask the bar for tonight's specials and anything off-menu.
