The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort invites guests to shake, stir and sip like a pro with an exclusive cocktail masterclass led by acclaimed drinks connoisseur and UK-based TV personality Aidy Smith. Known globally as the presenter of The Three Drinkers series on Amazon Prime, Aidy brings his signature expertise to The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort with an intimate mixology class on November 7. The intimate, one-hour class, will take place at the resort’s iconic Whale Bar overwater venue. 

Award-winning mixologist, broadcaster, and drinks columnist, Aidy Smith has garnered a dedicated following through his unique approach to cocktails and spirits. With The Three Drinkers series streaming in over 100 countries, Aidy has become one of the most recognized faces in the industry, blending knowledge with a vibrant and engaging style. His refreshing approach to drinks storytelling has captivated audiences worldwide, making him an ideal host for this unique masterclass series. 

Set against panoramic sunset views of the Indian Ocean, guests will be delighted by the class’ exquisite blend of ambiance and tradition. Inspired by the iconic Champagne Sabering Ritual, the experience kicks off with a welcome cocktail that pays tribute to this dramatic tradition. Aidy Smith will then guide attendees through the art of crafting three exquisite cocktails. Highlights include the ‘Spicy Mango Jalapeño Margarita,’ a tropical favourite with a fiery twist, and the indulgently smooth ‘Ruby Passion,’ infused with raspberry and passion fruit. To conclude, guests will savour Aidy’s signature creation, ‘The Paddington Bear,’ a playful nod to his fondness for cognac and marmalade, famously featured in his TV series. For those unable to attend the full experience, select Aidy Smith cocktails will also be available at the Whale Bar for three days, upon request.

Speaking on the collaboration, Aidy said, “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 mixology experience for Luminaries of 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.”
