Cocktail takeovers have become a familiar part of the bar scene, but the best ones bring together a distinctive spirit, accomplished bartenders, and a setting that elevates the experience. On 23 September 2026, The Parlour at The edge Bali does exactly that with A Taste of H Gin & Cocktail Experience, a one-day collaboration celebrating Indonesian craft gin against the dramatic backdrop of Uluwatu’s clifftops.
Running from 3pm to 8pm, the event welcomes two respected names from Indonesia’s cocktail community. Ardi, Brand MDG Advocate for H Gin, joins forces with Nanda, Lead Bartender of Adriana Cocina & Bar, for a guest shift that places botanical flavours and contemporary mixology at the centre of the afternoon. Together, they will present a bespoke cocktail menu created exclusively for the occasion, showcasing the versatility of H Gin through original serves and refined bartending techniques.
Rather than simply pouring classic cocktails, the The Parlour H Gin Cocktail takeover focuses on exploring H Gin’s botanical profile in new ways. Each drink has been designed to highlight the spirit’s aromatic character while allowing the bartenders’ individual styles to shine. The result promises an experience that balances technical precision with a sense of creativity, encouraging guests to discover the nuances of Indonesian craft gin beyond the familiar Gin & Tonic or Negroni.
The setting plays an equally important role. Located within The edge Bali, The Parlour overlooks the limestone cliffs of Uluwatu, where sweeping Indian Ocean views naturally lend themselves to late-afternoon aperitifs and sunset cocktails. As the light changes across the coastline, the venue shifts from a relaxed daytime lounge into an intimate early-evening bar, providing an atmospheric backdrop for the guest shift.
Whether arriving for a mid-afternoon drink or settling in as the sun begins to set, guests can expect more than a standard cocktail menu. The collaboration is designed as a dialogue between spirit, bartender, and place, where each bespoke creation reflects both H Gin’s craftsmanship and the creative perspectives of Ardi and Nanda.
As Indonesia’s cocktail culture continues to evolve, collaborations like The Parlour H Gin Cocktail highlights the growing confidence of the local industry. By bringing together homegrown spirits, talented bartenders, and one of Bali’s most striking venues, A Taste of H Gin & Cocktail Experience offers an afternoon dedicated to thoughtful mixology, good conversation, and cocktails best enjoyed with a view.
