Mumbai’s cocktail calendar gets a decidedly global moment this January as NOX at The Westin Mumbai Powai Lake hosts Encore Nights: Episode Three, welcoming Khun Jib, Asia’s Bespoke Bartender, on January 16 and 17, 2026.
Celebrated for cocktails that read like stories rather than recipes, Khun Jib brings a Southeast Asian sensibility that is layered, thoughtful, and quietly theatrical. Expect heritage ingredients interpreted through modern technique—drinks that balance cultural memory with contemporary craft, designed for those who appreciate nuance as much as novelty.
Encore Nights: Legendary Bar Take Over is NOX’s culture-forward answer to the global guest shift—less a one-off appearance, more a continuing conversation. Curated as a monthly series, it brings together 12 iconic bartenders from around the world, each offering a distilled expression of their country’s cocktail philosophy. The idea is simple but ambitious: cross-cultural exchange through the language of the bar, and a confident statement of India’s place on the world mixology map.
Set against the dramatic, after-dark mood of NOX, the two-night showcase is expected to draw the city’s cocktail cognoscenti, hospitality insiders, and cultural tastemakers—marking another defining chapter in Mumbai’s fast-evolving nightlife story.
