Copitas, the award-winning bar at Four Seasons Hotel Bengaluru, has unveiled a new music-inspired cocktail menu, striking a fresh chord in the city’s nightlife. Known for being the first bar in Bengaluru to feature on the prestigious Asia’s 50 Best list, Copitas is now inviting guests on a sensory journey where cocktails harmonise with sound.

The concept draws inspiration from the timeless connection between cocktails and music. Just as speakeasies of the jazz age paired with the Martini or Havana’s salsa nights celebrated rum, Copitas reimagines these dialogues for today’s Bengaluru. The new menu takes guests through eras of sound from the smooth jazz of the 1920s to disco beats and contemporary electronica, each drink crafted as a tribute to its genre.

“At Four Seasons, our philosophy has always been to craft experiences that stay with guests long after they leave. Copitas has consistently set benchmarks for Bengaluru’s cocktail culture, but with this menu we wanted to go further,” said Kazim Mehdi, Director of Food & Beverage at Four Seasons Hotel Bengaluru. “Music and cocktails have always shared a quiet dialogue. One evokes memory, the other lingers on the palate. With this menu, we bring that dialogue to life in a way that is tangible, artistic, and multi-sensory.”

Among the highlights is Rasamary, a bold tribute to pop music. Vodka and smoky peated malt meet tangy tomato and rasam powder, lifted by lemongrass and chili for a playful, unapologetically local twist. Another standout is Shokunin, inspired by disco. Gin and Campari form the base, with cacao nibs, coffee, and beetroot creating indulgent depth for what the team describes as “a chocolaty, tropical cocktail with a smooth finish.”

For Bar Manager Sher Thakur, who led the creation of the new menu, the personal favourite remains Chord and Crisp. “This collection was designed for those who live and breathe music. Chord and Crisp is my favourite. Vodka sets the rhythm, thyme and Parmesan bring savoury depth, and watermelon and lime add balance. It is soulful, clean, and herbaceous, much like the blues itself,” he shared.

The menu itself is a work of art, designed with folds reminiscent of vintage greeting cards. Each cocktail is paired with stories, illustrations of local ingredients, and collectible CD-style coasters featuring lyric fragments, making it as much a keepsake as a guide.

With this innovative menu, Copitas reaffirms its place as a definitive address for cocktail artistry in Bengaluru. More than just a bar, it offers a rhythm of flavours and storytelling, ensuring that every night here lingers like a favourite melody.
