KUALA LUMPUR, April 11 — A walk through the lobby of the Four Seasons Hotel leads to a set of gilded doors, behind which the dazzling Bar Trigona awaits. Inside, head bartender...

After all, the signature honey from Trigona stingless bees, known as madu kelulut in Malay, is at the heart of the bar’s offerings. We decided to invest in that idea, and one of the biggest investments we made was partnering with our farming team, led by Dino, an urban farmer. So we asked ourselves, “What is something that’s common across hotel bars?” And we noticed that a lot of them — if not most — are known for darker drinks.
Eventually, we came up with the idea of showcasing things through colour. Malaysia as a country is very vibrant. You go to other countries, even within South-east Asia, and they’re not as vibrant as Malaysia — in terms of culture, fruits, vegetables, produce.Cacao, from the 'Single Origin' section of the new menu, makes use of the nibs, husks and beans of the cacao fruit. — Picture by Raymond ManuelMatmary: We work with two producers for our single-origin section right now.
We tried a few types and thought, “How can we use different parts of the same bean in the cocktail?” The husk, for example, is the biggest waste in cacao production, so we put that in rye whisky. We realised that the honey we use wasn’t developed for making mead. So, we went back to Dino and asked how we could make our honey suitable for mead.
We could have them make the mead for us, and we’d co-brand it, selling it not only at the bar but also at the mini-bar.Matmary: People are increasingly preferring lighter cocktails. If you look at cocktail menus worldwide, the lighter cocktail section tends to be smaller because people usually gravitate towards stronger drinks, which offer a better value-for-money perception.
This allows guests to still enjoy the social experience, share a drink, and post a picture on social media — without the alcohol.
