Although we’ve said goodbye to March madness and its plethora of art and rugby parties, the city’s bars are keeping the drinks flowing. In fact, Hong Kong bars are upping the ante, with Zoku and Ozone respectively hosting CMYK, from Changsha, and Reka, from Kuala Lumpur, for not one, but two nights this weekend. Elsewhere, the Landmark kicks off its second Sake Walk with masterclasses and pairing menus galore, continuing through mid-May.

What: One of China’s best bars returns to Hong Kong for guest shifts at Zoku this weekend. Tommy Wong, one of the co-founders of CMYK, will be in town, representing his bar that was ranked 43rd in Asia’s 50 Best Bars last year.

CMYK is known for cocktails that are “easy to love but not too complicated to enjoy”, combining accessibility and sustainability, but this weekend’s drinks are certainly not ones amateur mixologists will be able to shake together. Cocktails are set to include the Berry Dat Club, with an extensive list of ingredients that includes Absolut Elyx vodka, crème de cassis, shiso distillates, fresh white peppercorn, simple syrup, dry vermouth, fresh raspberry and fresh lemon juice. The no-less-complicated Smooth Operator, meanwhile, features Redbreast 12-year-old single pot still Irish whiskey, milk, coconut, cinnamon, espresso, tamarind, pineapple, paprika and sesame oil.
