We’re fresh into 2026, but the city’s nightlife scene is already building momentum as Peridot and Mius both host their first guest shifts of the year – the former featuring two Italian mixologists-slash-brand owners, and the latter featuring growing Singaporean collective Nutmeg & Clove.

Meanwhile, Hong Kong-inspired Kinsman – also an advocate for Chinatowns across the globe – celebrates two years in the city with a slew of collaborations from cha chaan teng favourites to Chinese dominoes.

Before founding the brand, Rossi was part of DarkSide’s opening team, then director of bars at Rosewood Hong Kong until 2024.

Giancarlo Mancino is the developer of Mancino Vermouth as well as the founder of his own beverage consultancy firm and of Bocktailed canned cocktails. He also helped to develop Sei Bellissimi, which produces sparkling bottled cocktails.
