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.”
