On the 45th floor of the Bvlgari Hotel Tokyo, October 14 will see an encounter between two worlds that share a refined sense of hospitality and taste. The occasion is the presentation of Issue No. 6 of Coqtail – for fine drinkers. After Europe and the Asian stops in Hong Kong and Taipei, the magazine reaches the heart of Yaesu, Chūō-ku, at one of the city’s most exclusive addresses, weaving its editorial story together with that of The Bvlgari Bar and Camparino in Galleria.
Coqtail in Tokyo
Perched above the skyline, The Bvlgari Bar inside the Bvlgari Hotel Tokyo is known for its sweeping views that stretch all the way to the bay and for its interiors, where Japanese precision meets Mediterranean ease. It’s within this elegant setting that Coqtail – for fine drinkers will host a special evening in collaboration with Camparino in Galleria.
At 6 PM, a private session will welcome members of the bar industry and select guests for the presentation of Secret, the issue No. 6 of the magazine. The drinks will be curated by Tommaso Cecca, Global Head of Camparino Licensing & Mixology, and Andrea Minarelli, Bar Manager of The Bvlgari Bar.
From 7 to 10 PM, The Milano Hour will open to the public, celebrating Italian hospitality with Cecca and Minarelli sharing the counter and presenting a bespoke menu inspired by Milan’s timeless aperitivo culture.
The Milano Hour: Camparino’s Perspective
Among Cecca’s creations stands Compadre, a signature cocktail that plays on smoky and citrus notes with Campari, Montelobos Mezcal Espadín, Del Professore Vermouth Rosso, chinotto liqueur, agave syrup and Angostura. Then comes Red Carpet, the official cocktail of the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, made with Campari Hibiscus, Courvoisier VS cognac, Del Professore Vermouth Rosso, Aztec Cocoa bitters and Frangelico. The line-up concludes with Mirror Negroni, a subtle twist on the classic Count’s cocktail, featuring Campari, Del Professore Vermouth Rosso and Bulldog Gin.
The Bvlgari Bar’s Creations
Andrea Minarelli’s selection reflects the elegance of The Bvlgari Bar. Over the Moon is a take on a Highball and Campari soda, a fusion of both inspired by Italian and Japanese traditions. Luce offers a more layered experience, blending Campari, Bulldog Gin, bergamot liqueur, a saffron and chamomile cordial, grape juice and a silky egg white foam. Finally, Under the Sun introduces smoky and vegetal notes through Montelobos Mezcal Espadín, Campari, Sakura vermouth, olive oil, lime and grapefruit juice, tomato and agave syrup.
Three concoctions that bridge Italy and Japan through craft and creativity, in harmony with the understated sophistication of The Bvlgari Bar. The perfect setting to unwind, meet, and leaf through Coqtail – for fine drinkers, available at select newsstands, bookstores and online.
