New cocktail menus to try in HK this summer

Doubleshot by Cupping Room

Riding on the success as a coffee specialist in town, Doubleshot by Cupping Room is extending their expertise to mixology. The new series of tipple introduces both signature staples of café-inspired cocktails and seven featured cocktails flaunt distinctive flavors, crafted by Chanel Adams, previously a founding member of PDT Hong Kong at The Landmark Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong.

Staying true to its coffee roots, some of the bar’s signature cocktails draw inspiration from coffee flavours and brewing techniques, such as aeropress and siphon. Its take on the classic Espresso Martini, named Spent Martini, elevates the earthy tones of single origin coffee, intensifying its smooth and nutty flavours. To promotes anti-waste and sustainable cocktails, the coffee liquor is made from coffee grounds from their morning coffee service, while the sweetener is made from unsold almond croissants.

With Asian influences, the featured cocktails are sure to please the local crowd. Jungle Fever is a refreshing option during the Hong Kong summer, the delicately piped passion fruit foam brings out the tangy and sweet tropical flavors immaculately; From Thailand to Haiti is garnished with a pipette filled with spicy goodness, using Clairin Communal Rum, the latest rum discovery from Haiti as the base.
