Copitas Hosts Zest: A Seoul-Inspired Zero-Waste Experience
In a groundbreaking collaboration set to redefine Bengaluru's nightlife scene, Copitas, the city's premier hotel bar located at the esteemed Four Seasons Hotel Bengaluru, is gearing up to host Zest, an iconic minimal "zero-waste" cocktail bar from Seoul. Scheduled to debut on March 8, 2024, this takeover marks Zest's first foray into India, promising an unparalleled experience for patrons seeking innovative libations and sustainable sipping.
Zest, hailed for its top-tier mixology and commitment to sustainability, has garnered global acclaim, securing the #8 spot in the World's 50 Best Bars and #5 in Asia's 50 Best Bars lists. At the heart of Zest's allure lies its dedication to minimizing waste, a philosophy mirrored by Copitas' own eco-conscious practices, including sourcing ingredients from their onsite herb garden and promoting tree planting initiatives through plantable coasters and seed bomb giveaways.
What sets Zest apart is its ingenious approach to crafting cocktails, where every ingredient, from locally sourced produce to upcycled elements like Jeju orange peels, is meticulously utilized to create a symphony of flavors. Co-founders Demie Kim and Jisu Park, acclaimed bartenders in their own right, infuse each drink with a narrative that pays homage to Korea's rich culinary heritage while pushing the boundaries of mixology.
Reuben Kataria, General Manager of Four Seasons Bengaluru, underscores the collaboration's significance in offering guests a blend of innovation, sustainability, and exceptional mixology. Through this partnership, Copitas aims to elevate the drinking experience, inviting cocktail connoisseurs and sustainability advocates alike to savor Zest's zero-waste creations.
As Bengaluru embraces this fusion of cultures and cocktail craftsmanship, Copitas with Zest sets the stage for an unforgettable journey through Seoul's vibrant drinking culture, one mindful sip at a time.
