On a quiet afternoon or just as the sun dips into the Indian Ocean, there’s something special about holding a beautifully crafted drink in your hand. At Mercure Maldives Kooddoo, that simple pleasure now comes with a twist-and a little more depth.
To mark World Cocktail Day, the resort has unveiled The Art of Tea, a brand-new menu of tea-infused cocktails. Created in collaboration with Art of Tea, a luxury tea brand based in Los Angeles, this collection brings a fresh perspective to classic island cocktails. Think natural ingredients, bold flavors, and the kind of balance that lingers long after the last sip.
Tea Meets Spirit in the Maldives
This isn’t your typical beach bar fare. Each drink in The Art of Tea menu blends premium spirits with hand-blended organic teas-many of them sourced from small, sustainable farms. The result? A lineup of cocktails that are light, layered, and full of character.
It’s a refreshing take on drinking culture. The kind that invites you to slow down, notice the details, and enjoy the moment.
What’s on the Menu
Whether you lean toward something tropical, minty, rich, or citrusy, there’s a cocktail here for every mood:
- Coco Bloom-A creamy mix of white coconut tea, rum, Malibu, and a hint of strawberry and lemon
- Velvet Noir-Dark chocolate peppermint tea blended with vodka, citrus, and mojito syrup
- Sunrise Spiritz-A bright, gin-forward cocktail with citrus and a kick from Bright Eyed tea
- Masala Mule-Masala chai meets Armagnac in this bold, spiced take on the classic mule
- Mint Mirage-Fresh Pacific Mint tea combined with beer, curaçao, and cooling syrup
- Grey Royale-Earthy Earl Grey with whisky, cucumber, and a mellow citrus finish
Each one is crafted to pair beautifully with the Maldivian rhythm-slow, intentional, and always a little indulgent.
A New Way to Unwind
You can enjoy these drinks poolside, by the beach, or while watching the sky turn pink over the ocean. However you choose to sip, The Art of Tea invites you to try something familiar in a completely new way.
And that’s what Mercure Maldives Kooddoo does best-taking simple moments and turning them into something memorable.
