Caviar tasting sheds its formal cloak this summer at Regent Hong Kong’s Qura Bar. Against the backdrop of art deco glamour and harbour views, Prunier’s sustainably sourced Osciètre Caviar is served in bar bites as part of a four-course menu until July 31, and dishes such as onsen egg with vodka sauce and tagliolini with lemon confit pair perfectly with mixologist Gennaro Pucci’s inventive cocktails.

This month, contemporary Cantonese liquor brand Magnolia Lab celebrates its fifth anniversary with an apothecary-inspired pop-up bar at the Tai Wo Tang cafe in Kowloon City, itself housed in a former Chinese medicine shop. From June 18 to 21, the cafe will serve cocktails using the brand’s Roselle and Magnolia liqueurs, designed by mixologist Matthew Lau Wai-yip, while DJ duo Beat Friday have arranged a nostalgic playlist of Cantonese tunes from the 1940s to the 70s.
