Your Hong Kong weekend drinks guide for January 29-31

Get ready to finish January with a bang! Locale18 is bringing in the dynamic duo behind nomadic mixology concept Glass Gardener, while The Green Door are bringing five of Seoul’s best bars to Hong Kong. Meanwhile, The Savory Project has updated its menu with a few new options focusing on curry and salsa.

Locally inspired decor meets locally inspired flavours as two of the best Hong Kong-focused concepts come together for Locale18’s first ever guest shift. Taking over the Sheung Wan tribute to Hong Kong’s cityscape is Glass Gardener, a nomadic mixology concept that focuses on local flavours and comprises Tony Hsu and Henry Ho, both formerly part of the teams at 001 and The Poet.

Celebrate the end of the work week with a savoury treat as Hong Kong’s chief purveyor of umami-bomb cocktails presents two updates to its menu. The Baked Cheese Curry combines cheese, coconut curry and tequila – all slow-cooked together – with fresh celery and apple juice for vegetal balance. For those staying strong for Dry January until the end, the Strawberry Salsa is the latest non-alcoholic option, spotlighting salsa notes with fresh strawberry, vinegar, tomatoes and pink peppercorn.
