December 3, 2024,
Bengaluru, India

An evening of world-class mixology awaits as Charles H., the iconic speakeasy from Four Seasons Hotel Seoul, brings its celebrated craftsmanship to India, making exclusive stops at Copitas at Four Seasons Hotel Bengaluru and AER at Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai, in collaboration with The Soul Company. Known for its rich heritage of innovation and timeless elegance, Charles H., ranked #42 on the World’s 50 Best Bars 2021 and #95 on Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2024, promises unforgettable evenings of legendary mixology, handcrafted cocktails, and culinary storytelling.

Global mixology virtuoso and the Beverage Ambassador for Four Seasons APAC Odd Strandbakken brings his worldly influences to these two cities. Born and raised in Norway, Odd’s passion for flavours and culinary innovation has taken him to 47 countries, where he has mastered techniques and uncovered ingredients that elevate the art of cocktail making. Under his leadership, Charles H. continues to redefine the boundaries of cocktail creation, taking guests on a journey through the destinations that inspire his drinks. Hidden in Four Seasons Seoul, Charles H. is a glamorous homage to legendary cocktail connoisseur Charles H. Baker Jr., the world traveller and bon vivant who documented his culinary adventures from the 1920s to the 1950s.

The much-anticipated evenings at these award-winning bars will feature selections from the celebrated “Destinations” menu of Charles H., inspired by the journeys of Baker Jr. and Odd Strandbakken himself. Guests can enjoy the bar’s take on classic cocktails from various locations - Velvet Martini from London, Hotel Special from Havana, to name a few. For tequila lovers, expect Tarragon Paloma, a signature cocktail crafted with Patrón Tequila, known for its additive-free, handcrafted excellence using traditional methods from Jalisco, Mexico. Each cocktail tells a story, embodying the essence of global cultures while showcasing the artistry, discovery, and creativity synonymous with the Four Seasons experience.

With the backdrop of Copitas’ breath-taking skyline views and AER’s iconic rooftop ambiance, this dual-city takeover marks a celebration of innovation and storytelling brought to life by The Soul Company - a visionary collective at the intersection of food, beverage, culture, and creativity dedicated to redefining the culinary landscape in India. Together, these two Four Seasons destinations set the stage for an unforgettable mixology experience in India.

Step into Copitas or AER for an extraordinary evening where two celebrated cocktail worlds collide. Elevate the senses and experience the essence of fine mixology by immersing in creative artistry and indulging in a night of unforgettable flavours.
