Daniel Alexander

Mixologist

A chance meeting in the Maldives brought Londoner Daniel Alexander to Negev. The young mixologist and manager has quickly become a staple behind the bar and on the floor, catering to our guests every need.
Who could forget that distinct Chelsea accent, that fervor for a good laugh, and the swagger of a kind heart. Daniel from the age of 17 had taken up mixology and refined his craft all over the world: Sydney, Marbella, Colombo, back to London, and finally the Maldives. Through his 15 years of international experience, Daniel brings Jakarta a sophisticated cocktail menu unique to his own blend of beach and urban energy. “A truly good cocktail can tell a story,” says Daniel:
warning; one sip may leave you yearning for the next chapter.
