A Night of Albanian Cocktail Culture Comes to Bengaluru as Nouvelle Vague Takes Over Copitas at Four Seasons Hotel Bengaluru at Embassy ONE

For one evening only, Copitas at Four Seasons Hotel Bengaluru at Embassy ONE will transform into a gateway to Tirana's vibrant cocktail culture as Nouvelle Vague, Albania's pioneering bar and one of the world’s recognised cocktail destinations, takes over Copitas on July 17, 2026.

Recognised among The World's 50 Best Bars 2025, Nouvelle Vague has spent over a decade redefining Albania's hospitality landscape through a philosophy that places equal importance on craftsmanship and genuine human connection. Founded by brothers Sofokli and Evis Cali alongside their parents, the bar has earned international acclaim for its cinematic approach to mixology and unwavering commitment to making people happy.

For this exclusive collaboration, Redi Bardhi, Senior Bartender and Lab Supervisor at Nouvelle Vague, will bring the spirit of Tirana to Bengaluru through a curated menu inspired by Albania's culinary heritage. Guests can expect contemporary cocktails that celebrate native ingredients and traditional spirits such as raki, interpreted through refined modern techniques. Signature creations including Nou Whey and Black Sabah offer a glimpse into the bar's celebrated "ORIGIN'AL" philosophy, where forgotten flavours are reimagined into elegant and contemporary serves.

Set against the sweeping skyline views of Copitas, the evening promises more than an exceptional cocktail programme. It is a meeting of two destinations connected by a shared appreciation for craftsmanship and hospitality, where soulful music and inventive mixology come together to create an unforgettable night.

Supported by All Things Nice, the takeover continues Copitas' commitment to bringing leading bars and bartenders from around the world to Bengaluru, offering guests access to internationally recognised drinking experiences without leaving the city.

"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." says Melwyn Kuriakose, Bar Manager.

Guests are invited to experience this exclusive one-night-only collaboration on Friday, July 17, 2026, at Copitas, Four Seasons Hotel Bengaluru, where a recognised cocktail destination meets a well-regarded bar in India for an evening highlighting the art of hospitality through cocktails and culture.
