Terrible Baby x Grasshopper Bar
Looking to kick off the weekend with Filipino-inspired cocktails and ingredients in the heart of Kowloon? Terrible Baby is hosting Grasshopper Bar from Manila as the latter brings cocktails evoking the flavours and ingredients of the Philippines. For instance, the Sophomorph combines Ezra Brooks bourbon with mugicha syrup, lactic acid and tamarind, but the original from Grasshopper is inspired by kiniing, smoke-cured pork from the Cordilleras.
