Cosmo, all-day dining restaurant at Hyatt Centric Hebbal Bengaluru is collaborating with PCO 2.0, for an exclusive bar takeover. PCO’s Bar Manager, Vikas Kumar, will showcase the bar’s daring “Forbidden” cocktail menu at Cosmo.
Spearheaded by founders Radhika and Rakshay Dhariwal, this event brings PCO’s unique, award-winning mixology and “forbidden” flavours to Bengaluru for one special night.
The Forbidden cocktail menu daring disruptive and delicious
The highlight of the takeover will be PCO’s groundbreaking ‘The Forbidden’ menu. This bold collection of cocktails is inspired by ingredients deemed restricted or taboo across cultures, religions, or laws.
The menu features 12 signature cocktails, like “Not for Check-In” with coconut, “Bad Reputation” featuring MSG, “Opium Den” infused with poppy seeds, and “Oral Fixation” playing with tobacco notes. For those preferring non-alcoholic options, Zero ABV cocktails such as “School Rules” with ketchup and “Forager’s Feat” with porcini mushroom hydrosol offer equally intriguing tastes.
Complementing the drinks, a selection of tempting bar bites will be available, including Mushroom and Goat’s Cheese Croquettes, Spiced Lamb Tostadas, Black Truffle Tagliatelle, alongside classic Margherita and Pepperoni pizzas.

Leading the takeover is Vikas Kumar, Bar Manager at PCO, celebrated for his inventive approach to cocktails. With over 12 years of experience, Vikas is known for his technique-driven drinks and his knack for sourcing local ingredients.
