Copitas at Four Seasons Hotel Bengaluru is set to bring a taste of Albania's celebrated cocktail culture to the city with an exclusive one-night takeover by Nouvelle Vague on Friday, 17 July 2026.

Recognised among The World's 50 Best Bars 2025, Nouvelle Vague has built a global reputation for blending creative mixology with warm hospitality. Founded by brothers Sofokli and Evis Cali, along with their parents, the Tirana-based bar has spent more than a decade redefining Albania's bar scene through its focus on craftsmanship, storytelling and memorable guest experiences.

For the special collaboration, Redi Bardhi, Senior Bartender and Lab Supervisor at Nouvelle Vague, will present a specially curated cocktail menu inspired by Albania's culinary traditions. The menu will feature modern interpretations of native ingredients and traditional spirits such as raki, showcasing the bar's signature "ORIGIN'AL" philosophy that transforms forgotten flavours into contemporary cocktails.

Guests can also look forward to signature creations including Nou Whey and Black Sabah, offering a unique glimpse into Nouvelle Vague's internationally recognised cocktail programme.

Set against the panoramic skyline views from Copitas, the evening will combine inventive cocktails, soulful music and a shared passion for hospitality, creating an immersive experience that connects the cultures of Tirana and Bengaluru.

Supported by All Things Nice, the event is part of Copitas' ongoing initiative to bring some of the world's most celebrated bars and bartenders to Bengaluru, giving guests the opportunity to enjoy internationally acclaimed cocktail experiences without leaving the city.

Commenting on the collaboration, Melwyn Kuriakose, Bar Manager, Four Seasons Hotel Bengaluru, said:

"At Copitas, we believe the world's finest cocktail experiences are defined not only by technical excellence but by the stories and people behind every drink. We are delighted to welcome Nouvelle Vague to Four Seasons Hotel Bengaluru and create an evening that celebrates craftsmanship and the joy of bringing people together. We look forward to sharing this unique experience with our guests and offering them a taste of Albania's remarkable cocktail culture."
