A Taste of Mexico and Japan: Kaito del Valle Takes Over Copitas at Four Seasons Hotel Bengaluru

This April, an extraordinary mixology experience unfolds at Copitas at Four Seasons Hotel Bengaluru. Ranked #12 on India’s 30 Best Bars in 2024 and #38 on Asia's 50 Best Bars in 2023, Copitas welcomes Kaito del Valle - one of Mexico City’s most celebrated bars - for an exclusive one-night takeover. Ranked #28 on North America’s 50 Best Bars 2024, Kaito del Valle is renowned for seamlessly blending Mexican spirits with Japanese-inspired mixology, crafting cocktails that are both innovative and deeply rooted in tradition.

Leading this takeover is Claudia Cabrera, an award-winning mixologist and co-founder of Kaito del Valle. A true force in the world of cocktails, Claudia has redefined Mexico’s bar scene through her expertise, creativity, and commitment to gender equality in hospitality. As the Roku Industry Icon (North America’s 50 Best Bars 2024) and Mixologist of the Year (CANIRAC 2024), she brings an avant-garde approach that merges the warmth of Mexican hospitality with the precision of Japanese craftsmanship.

Guests can expect an exquisite cocktail menu capturing Kaito del Valle’s signature fusion - where agave spirits meet Japanese botanicals, coastal influences blend with bold Mexican flavours, and every sip tells a story of cross-cultural creativity. In collaboration with Fratelli Branca México, this exclusive event will showcase four signature cocktails - HAPPOSAI, SHITAKE SAN, MARGARITA NEKO, and GEISHA - each a testament to Kaito del Valle’s bold and masterful mixology. This event is also supported by The Experience India and Diageo India, further enhancing the collaboration and commitment to fine craftsmanship and cultural exchange.

Kaito del Valle is more than just a bar; it is an experience. As Latin America's first all-women-operated bar, it embraces Japanese izakaya culture with a playful, punk-inspired aesthetic and kawaii influences. Inspired by Japan’s “kaito” pearl divers, the bar's spirit is embodied by its lucky maneki-neko cat mascot, reflecting its fun and inventive approach to mixology. The bar has earned international recognition, including nominations for Best Bar Team and Cocktail Bar at Tales of the Cocktail.

Perched on the 21st floor, Copitas has long been a sanctuary for cocktail connoisseurs, consistently ranked among Asia’s 50 Best Bars. With its chic ambiance, experimental spirit, and signature Four Seasons hospitality, Copitas sets the perfect stage for this rare meeting of two distinct yet harmonious worlds.

Join the hotel for a one-night-only experience as Kaito del Valle and Copitas come together for an evening of exceptional craftsmanship, cultural fusion, and memorable cocktails.
