Centered on the concept of 'Quality over Quantity' and adopting sustainable cultivation methods to bring innovation to the wine and spirits industry, Rémy Cointreau Japan K.K. (Minato-ku, Tokyo / Representative Director Xavier Taro) will host Alex Francis, co-founder and mixologist from the renowned Parisian bar 'Bar De Vie', as a guest for a one-night-only special cocktail event on Thursday, May 28, 2026, at 1 Hotel Tokyo's Spotted Stone.

Said to be one of the most innovative cocktail bars in Paris right now, Bar De Vie is garnering worldwide attention for offering new-sensation cocktails while implementing sustainable practices. Their commitment to utilizing ingredients sourced directly from French farmers and minimizing waste stems from a passion for harmony with nature and a sustainable future.

Alex Francis is known as one of the central figures who supported the success of Paris's iconic bar 'Little Red Door', a regular on 'The World’s 50 Best Bars' list. At Bar De Vie, under the philosophy of 'Farm-to-Glass', he elevates ingredients that would otherwise be discarded into special elements with new value. This ideology deeply resonates with the philosophy of 1 Hotel Tokyo, which aims for a sustainable future by valuing harmony with nature and minimizing environmental impact. The hotel's approach to utilizing natural materials, promoting upcycling, and circulating resources aligned perfectly, realizing this special collaboration.

On this special night, limited-edition cocktails will be prepared using 'Rémy Martin' Cognac Fine Champagne, the premium French orange liqueur 'Cointreau', and 'Belle de Brillet' pear and cognac liqueur.
