Spirited Takeover: Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui Invites Award-Winning Bar Trigona to CoCoRum

Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui is partnering with Bar Trigona in a special takeover of the poolside CoCoRum. Ranked #36 in the prestigious Asia’s 50 Best Bars list, and recognized by the World’s 50 Best Bars Academy, Bar Trigona is celebrated for its commitment to sustainability, garnering top honours as Malaysia’s Best Bar for four consecutive years and being awarded the prestigious Ketel One Sustainable Award. “For two nights only, from August 16 to 17, 2024, guests will have the unique opportunity to experience the innovative and sustainable mixology of Bar Trigona in a breathtaking ocean view and tropical setting,” beams Jasjit Assi, the Resort’s General Manager.

Crafting Cocktails with a Conscience: A Fusion of Sustainable Spirits

The coming together of Bar Trigona’s Head Bartender Rohan Matmary and CoCoRum’s Bar Manager Thom Geerts presents a spirited experience as both mixologists are committed advocates of sustainability. Traversing through four key experiences – Safe Haven, Jewel of the Tropics, Island Rituals, and The Vault – CoCoRum’s playful approach to the beverage experience blends seamlessly into Bar Trigona’s philosophy. “What makes a cocktail great, technically speaking, is a precise balance of ingredients and flavours,” believes Rohan, adding that every exceptional cocktail also needs a compelling story. “Not to forget, a passionate bartender," he smiles.

Private Masterclass at The Vault: An Exclusive Encounter with Sustainable Mixology

In addition to the cocktail showcases, the event will feature a Private Masterclass at The Vault, providing a unique opportunity for guests to immerse themselves in the world of sustainable mixology. On August 16 and 17, 2024, these sessions will welcome small groups of 3-4 guests, ensuring a personalized and intimate learning experience. Each session, scheduled from 4:00 to 4:45 pm and from 5:15 to 6:00 pm, is priced at THB 2,200++ per person.

Participants will delve into the art of crafting cocktails that not only delight the senses but also tell a compelling story through the use of locally sourced and responsibly utilized ingredients. This masterclass offers a unique chance to engage directly with some of the industry's leading mixologists, renowned for their creative flair and commitment to sustainability. Guests will leave with a deeper appreciation of cocktail crafting and inspired insights into sustainable practices that can be applied beyond the bar. This distinctive experience encapsulates the essence of luxury and creativity, tailored specifically for enthusiasts and aspiring mixologists eager to expand their expertise in an opulent setting.

Infusing Tropical Elegance: Signature Cocktails with Island Flair

During this special event, Rohan will present a selection of his signature creations from both the day and night menus. Complementing the serene day-time paradise, highlights from the menu include Blue Pea T&T (Blue Pea tequila, tonic water), and a flavourful Sakura Spritzer with gin and sakura vanilla syrup to liven up the mood. For those who would like the earthy flavours, the vetiver, pandan, gin and fig tea in Petrichor hit the spot. “Try the Airmail,” suggests Rohan, “We bring to you our signature trigona honey in this mix including calamansi juice, prosecco and dark rum.”

An Enchanted Evening of Exotic Flavours and Spirited Tales

The nighttime experience is a compelling story in itself, with mezcals (Parakeet featuring salted cucumber cordial) and rums taking centre stage. The Canchanchara with white rum, lime juice and trigona honey brings a zesty vibe, while the rose apple and torch ginger rum with strawberry cordial adds just the right amount of zing to the evening’s proceedings. With a focus on flavours, Rohan brings his expertise to the Durian Colada – a unique combination of white rum, acid adjusted pineapple juice, coconut cream and the quintessential durian paste. “Take a sip and settle down for the story,” grins this maverick bartender. “Don’t miss this exclusive event where innovative mixology meets sustainable practices in a stunning tropical paradise!”
