It is the antidote to summer’s unbearable heat. It eases your stress and tension after a hectic day at work. It is a symbol of celebration or the start of a romantic affair. It is an unsung hero, the cure to a bad day and a loyal and trusted friend. Let’s raise our glasses and say sip, sip hooray to the heavenly potion that frequently saves many of us from going absolutely insane – the cocktail! We rounded up our favorite summer cocktails in Hong Kong and where to find them below.
Topiary
We can’t get enough of this sophisticated, French-inspired bar’s creative cocktails like the Office Affair, a citrusy gin-based cocktail served with lavender-infused dry ice in a genie lamp! Feel like royalty as you unwind in the outdoor terrace lined with, you guessed it, well-manicured topiaries.
The Woods
When work bogs you down, this concept cocktail bar in the heart of Central is a convenient retreat. Leave your worries behind as you descend into The Woods and drown your sorrows on traditional cocktails with a twist like the Beet Negroni, made with beetroot-infused Tanqueray gin.
Mezcalito
For those unfamiliar with Mezcalito’s namesake, mezcal is tequila’s heavier and smokier older brother. For an easy after-work drink, try the sweet Paloma, a cocktail made of mezcal, grapefruit and elderflower. Those looking for something stronger can try the bar’s premium agave spirits neat.
Fofo by El Willy
Elevate your cocktail experience literally by savoring your drink atop this Spanish restaurant’s stunning rooftop terrace. Take your pick from their refreshing red, white, pink and bubbly sangrias, best enjoyed while taking in the 180 degree mountain views.
Little Lab
This little cocktail bar on Staunton Street is on a lively enclave just behind PMQ and beside the uber-popular Little Bao. Cocktails are “Made in HK” originals, and the Hibee – with homemade mixed fruit tea syrup drizzled into the all time classic rum and ginger beer – is simply refreshing.
