Three Marriott Bonvoy resorts in the Maldives are offering an exciting mixology experience! Le Méridien Maldives Resort & Spa, Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa, and The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli are hosting a cocktail masterclass. This event runs from 30 October to 7 November and will be led by acclaimed drinks expert Aidy Smith. As the star of The Three Drinkers on Amazon Prime, Aidy invites guests to explore cocktail crafting amid the stunning Maldivian backdrop.

Aidy commented on the collaboration, noting:

“I’ve always looked at cocktails as a form of art, and what better way to share this than in one of the most picturesque locations on the planet? It’s my absolute pleasure to create a bespoke cocktail menu for guests of Le Méridien Maldives Resort & Spa, Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa, and The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort. It’s one thing to watch mixology unfold; it’s another entirely to shake, stir, and sip your own creation in such iconic settings.”

Cocktail Masterclass & Sunset Soirée at Le Méridien Maldives Resort & Spa

The series begins at Le Méridien Maldives Resort & Spa on 30 October with a ‘Cocktail Masterclass & Sunset Soirée.’ Set at Tabemasu, the event starts with a welcome drink, the ‘Strawberry Scarlet.’ This delightful cocktail features fresh strawberries and basil from The Greenhouse, one of the largest hydroponic farms in the Maldives. During this two-hour session, Aidy will guide guests in crafting three unique cocktails inspired by the local environment and the Au Soleil program.

Moreover, participants will enjoy the refreshing ‘Verdant Mist,’ a cucumber-dill fusion martini. Next, they will savor the bold ‘Spicy Mango Margarita’ and Aidy’s signature ‘Paddington Bear,’ featured in The Three Drinkers. Then, guests will transition to the ‘Sunset Soirée’ at Riviera Beach after class. Here, they will enjoy more Aidy’s creations, along with Au Soleil canapés and live DJ entertainment. Aidy’s Bespoke Cocktail Menu will remain available for those unable to attend until January 2025.
