This exclusive event promises an exceptional experience for cocktail enthusiasts, combining the innovative flair of ZEST Seoul featuring the award-winning bartender and founder of ZEST Seoul, Demie Kim and his senior bartender, Jun Choi, with the vibrant atmosphere of W Bali – Seminyak.

This highly anticipated collaboration is set to take place on July 6 and 7, 2024 with the first day’s event kick-off at W Lounge, starting at 6 PM. On the second day, Bali’s best brunch gets an extra twist with a special cocktail package created exclusively by ZEST Seoul.

Perrier®, synonymous with excellence in sparkling water, and has consistently supported the vibrant creative world, shining a spotlight on emerging artists from painters to beverage creators. The brand’s commitment to the cocktail culture is particularly evident through its role as the title sponsor and Official Water Partner of the World’s 50 Best Bars and Asia's 50 Best Bars. Renowned for its sophistication and unique qualities, Perrier® has become the beverage of choice for mixologists aiming to elevate their creations.

Experience the refined flavors of our exclusive cocktail menu, starting with the Peach & Tonic, a refreshing blend of gin, peach cordial & pickle, ZEST tonic water, and Perrier. Delight in the bold Natural Long Tea, featuring Blanco tequila, mezcal, lime, grapefruit, natural coke, and Perrier. Savor the elegance of Urban Bees, combining gin, dry sherry, second flush citrus, lavender, and Single Town Seoul honey. Finally, indulge in the unique Sikhye, a creative mix of organic rice soju, Korean spiced rum, pumpkin sikhye, milk whey, and amaro dust. Each cocktail is priced at IDR 180,000++.

Opened in the upscale neighborhood of Cheongdam, Seoul, in December 2020, ZEST marked a significant leap of faith for seasoned bartender Demie Kim, who leads the operation alongside co-founders Jisu Park, Sean Woo, and Noah Kwon. Despite the tumultuous period and concerns that a sustainability-focused bar might not appeal, their fears were soon allayed.

Just one year later, ZEST earned a spot on Asia’s 50 Best Bars list. In 2023, ZEST received even more surprising news: they jumped a record-breaking 43 spots to become Asia’s No. 5 bar, were named the best bar in Korea, and secured the No. 18 spot on the global list — the highest new entry that year.
