Finds - an acronym for Finland, Iceland, Norway, Denmark and Sweden - is part of the burgeoning dining scene at Elements, Tsim Sha Tsui. The restaurant (the first branch is in Central) may be Scandinavian themed, but its cocktails are designed for warmer climes. Drinks that can be served in ice-cold jugs are perfect for summer entertaining.
Sangria, the Spanish classic, is always popular but there are many variations. Use your imagination by adding different fruits and liquors to the mix.
Restaurant manager Josh So uses white wine with raspberry liqueur, fresh mango and blueberries to create the bar's speciality, the Raspberry Mango. 'It's simple to make and extremely refreshing; great for drinking on the terrace,' says So.
So advises people to select their favourite flavours then mix and match. 'Drinks that can be made in jugs can mix a variety of flavours well, so experiment and create your own signature cocktail,' he says.
Quench your thirst with long summer drinks (HK$200 for a carafe; HK$380 for a jug) at Finds Cafe & Bar, R004, 3/F, Elements, 1 Austin Road West, Kowloon, tel: 2196 8433.
