Bali has no shortage of places to drink, but finding cocktails in Bali that are genuinely well-crafted — not just pretty — is harder than it looks. At AMA by Ours in Uluwatu, the drinks menu is treated with the same seriousness as the food. From lychee-infused tequila to pandan vodka, the cocktail list here draws on Mediterranean flavours and tropical Balinese ingredients to create something you will not find anywhere else on the island.
Whether you are coming in for dinner, a long lunch, or just a few drinks before the evening begins, the bar at AMA by Ours is worth your full attention.
Why the Cocktail Scene at AMA by Ours Stands Out
Most cocktail menus in Bali lean heavily on generic tropical flavours — coconut, pineapple, lemongrass repeated across a dozen variations. AMA by Ours takes a different approach. The drinks are built around a Mediterranean soul with a Balinese twist: fresh herbs, locally sourced fruit, and quality spirits that actually show up in the glass.
The menu is divided into signature cocktails, classic cocktails, and virgin cocktails — giving you a full range from inventive house creations to well-executed staples. If you are also exploring the wine and drinks menu, you will find that the cocktail programme sits naturally alongside an impressive selection of wines available by the glass and bottle.
Signature Cocktails: The Must-Orders
These are the house creations that define the AMA by Ours drinking experience. Each one has a clear identity and is worth trying on its own terms.
| Signature cocktails | Ingredients |
| Aperol sour | tequila, strawberry, lemon |
| Ama’s cosmo | lemongrass vodka, cranberry, egg white |
| Passion mojito | vodka, lime, mint, passion fruit |
| Porn star martini | vodka, passion fruit, lemon, vanilla, prosecco |
What to order first
The lychee negroni — listed under the cocktails section — is the drink most regulars point to when asked for a recommendation. Lychee-infused tequila, Campari, and sweet vermouth create something that is both familiar and entirely its own. It is bitter, floral, and complex in equal measure.
For something lighter, the ama’s cosmo is a refined take on a classic. The lemongrass vodka adds a clean herbal note that lifts the whole drink above the standard version you find elsewhere.
The Full Cocktail Menu
Beyond the signatures, the cocktail list covers a wide range of styles and spirits.
| Cocktails | Ingredients |
| Ours margarita | tequila, lime, cucumber, salt |
| Spicy margarita | tequila, lime, triple sec, jalapeno |
| Ama’s G&T | gin, tonic, lemon, rosemary |
| Ours mule | vodka, lime, ginger |
| French 75 | gin, prosecco, lemon |
| Balinese caipirinha | rum, sugar, muddled lime |
| Pandan & lychee martini | pandan vodka, lychee, lemon |
| Espresso martini | vodka, coffee liqueur, espresso |
| Aperol spritz | aperol, sparkling wine, soda, orange |
| Lychee negroni | lychee infused tequila, campari, sweet vermouth |
The spicy margarita is a strong choice if you enjoy heat — the jalapeno is present but balanced, not overwhelming. The pandan & lychee martini is one of the most distinctly Balinese drinks on the menu, using pandan vodka — a local flavour that works remarkably well in a martini format.
For gin drinkers, the ama’s G&T with rosemary is a clean, well-proportioned drink that pairs well with the food. The french 75 — gin, prosecco, and lemon — is a lighter option that works at any point in the evening.
Virgin Cocktails — Non-Alcoholic but No Less Considered
Not every great drink needs alcohol. The virgin cocktail list at AMA by Ours is built with the same attention as the rest of the menu.
| Virgin cocktails | Ingredients |
| Rosemary mule | berries, agave, lime juice, ginger |
| Pineapple margarita | lime, pineapple, agave syrup |
| Virgin mojito | lime, mint, soda, ginger |
| Ginger mule | lime, ginger, kombucha |
| Rosella | lime syrup, pandan, soda water |
The ginger mule with kombucha is a standout — the fermented kombucha adds complexity that most non-alcoholic drinks lack. The rosella — lime syrup, pandan, soda water — is delicate and refreshing, and a good choice for those who want something distinctly local without the spirits.
Cocktails and Wine: A Natural Pairing
AMA by Ours is also one of the better places in Uluwatu to explore Bali wine culture. The drinks programme extends well beyond cocktails — if you are interested in what the restaurant offers by the glass and bottle, the full drinks menu covers an extensive wine list alongside the cocktail and beer options. For those who enjoy a glass of red with their meal, the restaurant’s approach to wine in Bali is worth exploring separately — the list is curated with the same care as the food menu.
The combination of a serious cocktail programme and a considered wine list makes AMA by Ours one of the few places in Uluwatu where drinks are treated as an experience in themselves, not just an accompaniment to the food.
