Fairmont's New Global Cocktail Program

Designed by elite Fairmont tastemakers

Fairmont Zimbali Resort is inviting guests to taste what happens when elite mixologists from around the world come together to craft cocktails.

As Fairmont Hotels & Resorts around the world, roll-out a new global cocktail menu to guests, it is just what it sounds like a selection of beautifully balanced and delicious cocktails created by Fairmont Tastemakers from abroad. This month it is South Africa's turn to be introduced to a new cocktail culture.

"When people "meet for a drink" at a Fairmont hotel - from The American Bar at The Savoy to The Plaza in New York - they expect the crispest gin and tonic and a truly perfect Manhattan. With this new menu that is precisely what they will get - along with quality ice and bartender's advice when appropriate," said Jane Mackie, vice president, Fairmont Brand. "The Classics. Perfected. menu was curated by our top bartenders who were charged with helping us to discover and perfect the best old and new classics."

Fairmont's bars around the world have historically been places were deals were struck and history was made, showing that cocktail culture is about more than just drinks. The bartenders who have presided over these storied bars have been shaping cocktail trends for over a century. Bringing together Fairmont's best mixologists from different hotels to collaborate and share their expertise, has unearthed a new level of quality and craftsmanship.

Selected for their individual talent and mastery of cocktail methodology, the Fairmont Tastemakers include Grant Sceney from Fairmont Pacific Rim, Nader Chabaane from Fairmont Le Château Frontenac, Erik Lorincz from The Savoy, A Fairmont Managed Hotel and Tom Hogan from Fairmont Singapore.

"We are incredibly proud of the group of partners involved in Fairmont's new cocktail program," said Alexandra Blum, VP, public relations and partnerships, FRHI Hotels & Resorts. "Each brand was hand selected for its outstanding quality and global appeal. We are so pleased to see that this careful curation in partnership with our hand selected Fairmont Tastemakers, has resulted in a world-class offering for both our trend setting and discerning."

Cocktails will be served in beautifully crafted Schott Zwiesel crystal glassware, distributed by global partner Fortessa, to further elevate this special offering.

Classics. Perfected is now available at Fairmont Zimbali Resort.
