The Endless Melody cocktail was a signature creation by the talented mixologist Wangari Mwangi, who revealed to The Nairobian that her inspiration came from the “One Night Only with Kenny G event. The Legendary smooth jazz saxophonist Kenny G performed at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre in Nairobi on September 27, 2025. This drink was part of a special trio, alongside the “Smooth Operator” and “Midnight Serenade,” designed to honour the jazz saxophonist. 

The cocktail’s name and its flavour profile, described simply as “bright, flowing”, were directly inspired by Kenny G’s music. The goal was to translate his signature sound, characterised by long, unbroken, and intricate melodic lines, into a drinkable form. It was essentially a liquid celebration of his timeless jazz sound to perfectly match the mood and rhythm of the exclusive performance. This unique pairing of high-quality gin, mixology, and world-class music marked a special fusion of culture and flavour for the event.
