Bar Trigona, the award-winning bar at Four Seasons Hotel Kuala Lumpur, has introduced a new cocktail menu called Nectar of Time.
The newly crafted menu presents an evolving liquid narrative, with cocktails grouped by stages of the evening.
Awaken the palate with First Light, then explore progressively deepening chapters, ending with nightcaps and dessert-style drinks in After Dark.
Signatures like the Trigona Bee’s Knees – a refined take on the gin-and-honey classic, have been retained.
Instead of floral honey, this drink spotlights trigona honey, that has its oaky richness infused with the nuanced aroma of coffee beans from My Liberica estate in Johor.
Another standout is the Acar Martini.
With the dirty martini making a strong comeback in Malaysia, the team was keen to find local alternatives to olives, which led members to incorporate Nyonya acar (a Peranakan pickling tradition).
Nectar of Time brings back favourites like the Banana, a single-ingredient drink that captures the sustainable pulse of Bar Trigona.
Sweet Pisang Mas bananas slow-cooked with Sarawak tuak concentrates its flavour.
The entire plant – fruit, leaf and flower – is used to minimise food waste.
Also returning is The Ghost, which marries the powerful (but caffeine-free) notes of distilled Malaysian coffee with the bitter-sweet flavour of 80% dark chocolate syrup.
The glass is dusted with cacao powder.
Also worth a special mention is the cocktail showcasing Bar Trigona’s new partnership with Puro Ice.
Featuring raspberry, lychee and rose geranium leaves, the perfumed Lunara glows with a moon-like artisanal ice ball – containing a single raspberry at its heart.
Dress code is smart casual – sportswear, singlets and open-toed footwear for men are not permitted.
