Austrian Tiki.

Tiki steht für Fernweh. Für große Aromen. Für Drinks, die für einen Moment alles um dich herum vergessen lassen. Doch was passiert, wenn dieser Moment der Leichtigkeit nicht am anderen Ende der Welt beginnt, sondern direkt hier – zwischen Bergen, Wäldern und dem Traunsee?
What is Tiki.
Tiki is much more than a cocktail style. Born in the 1930s, it became the liquid expression of escapism. Oversized glasses. Lavish garnishes. Layered flavours. Sweetness, acidity, spice and often multiple spirits come together to create drinks that tell a journey in a single glass.
But Tiki has never been just about taste. It's about a feeling. Escaping the everyday for an evening. Travelling somewhere else. Discovering new perspectives.
Tiki is imagination. Tiki is maximalism. And above all, it's an invitation to see the world through different eyes, if only for a moment.
What is Austrian Tiki.
Do you really need palm trees, coconuts and tropical fruit for that?
That's exactly the question Bar Chef Marcus Volsa asked himself. His answer: Austrian Tiki.
Instead of exotic ingredients, Austrian Tiki celebrates the flavours that define our own region. Apricot instead of mango. Stone pine instead of coconut. Spruce tips instead of palm trees. Joined by peach, raspberry, pear, grape, honey, poppy seed and barley – ingredients deeply rooted in the Salzkammergut, yet capable of tasting surprisingly exotic.
Because Austrian Tiki doesn't borrow the ingredients of classic Tiki. It borrows its mindset.
Curiosity. Abundance. Creativity.
The curiosity to rediscover the familiar. The abundance of bold flavours. And the creativity to transform regional ingredients into something unexpected.
Every drink tells a story of our landscape, interpreted through the richness, complexity and playful spirit of a classic Tiki cocktail.
Austrian Tiki isn't about looking far away. It's about discovering just how exotic the familiar can be.nn.
Meet Marcus Volsa.
Marcus Volsa is the Bar Chef at Belétage, known for creating cocktails that tell stories.
His inspiration comes not only from cocktail cultures around the world, but also from the forests, mountains and traditions of the Salzkammergut. With endless curiosity, he combines regional ingredients with modern techniques and unexpected flavour combinations.
Austrian Tiki is a reflection of that philosophy: internationally inspired, deeply rooted in its region, and driven by the ambition to let familiar ingredients reveal an entirely new side of themselves.
Because sometimes, the most exciting journey begins exactly where you already are.
Taste Austrian Tiki.
