As Bengaluru settles into the quieter rhythm of early autumn, Novotel Bengaluru Outer Ring Road has unveiled The Spirit of Malhar, a refined gin experience at its signature poolside bar, The Blue Terrain. Designed as an immersive cocktail journey, the experience brings Malhar Gin to the forefront through storytelling-led serves, Indian botanicals, and modern mixology.

Running from January 23 to March 29, 2026, The Spirit of Malhar transforms The Blue Terrain into a relaxed yet sophisticated evening destination, where flavour, craft, and ambience come together seamlessly. More than a standard cocktail menu, the experience presents Malhar Gin through thoughtfully designed sherbets and signature pours that highlight its versatility and depth.

Each cocktail on the menu draws inspiration from regions across India, including Kerala, Karnataka, Rajasthan, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, and Uttar Pradesh. From citrus-forward and refreshing profiles to layered, botanical-rich creations, the serves balance crisp notes, earthy undertones, floral accents, and gentle sweetness. The result is a menu that feels rooted yet contemporary, familiar yet exploratory.

Set against The Blue Terrain’s elegant poolside setting, the soirée unfolds daily from 6:00 pm to 1:00 am. Bartender-led presentations and refined glassware elevate the experience, offering guests a closer look at the artistry behind each pour. The atmosphere is designed for unhurried evenings, making it equally appealing to gin purists, cocktail enthusiasts, and lifestyle-driven patrons seeking understated sophistication.

With The Spirit of Malhar, Novotel Bengaluru Outer Ring Road continues to expand its experiential dining and beverage offerings, positioning The Blue Terrain as a destination for curated, season-led cocktail experiences that celebrate Indian ingredients through a modern lens.
