Best New Cocktails in Hong Kong
Stuck with your choice of cocktails for the evening, or find yourself going back to the same ones over and over again? Fear not because these bars and clubs have shaken, stirred and muddled some delicious fall treats.
Magnum
Magnum has teamed up with famed French mixologist Bob Louison to bring patrons a range of delectable creations. Inspired by desserts from his native country as well as traditional Chinese culture, Louison’s concoctions are a potent blend of the East and West. These include the HK Dragon, made with Belvedere and Grand Marnier as well as basil leaves, fresh strawberries, lemon juice and Earl Grey syrup; the signature Magnum Club cocktail, consisting of Belvedere, champagne, apple juice and Blue Curacao syrup, served with cream on top; the Socialize, made with a mix of passion fruit and orange liqueurs, as well as champagne and Grand Marnier; and the iconic Lychee martini, which takes on a new spin through the addition of egg whites.
Magnum, 3-4/F, Silver Fortune Plaza, 1 Wellington St., Central, 2116-1602.
Felix
Belvedere ambassador Allison Dedianko and sommelier Leo Au are the people behind the luxury Polish tipple’s multisensory vodka cocktails, available at Felix from now until September 30. For vodka and cocktail enthusiasts alike, the Black Raspberry Royal, a mixed cocktail comprising pineapple juice, raspberry liqueur and sparkling wine—infused with decadently red gel pearls—is a must-have. If you’re hankering for something zesty with less alcohol, the Chamo-tini—made with Belvedere citrus, chamomile tea, lemon juice and honey served in a martini cup topped with foam—could just be your cup of ’tini. All the vodka drinks are $158 each.
Felix, 28/F, The Peninsula Hong Kong, Salisbury Rd., Tsim Sha Tsui, 2629-6778.
