New cocktail menus to try in HK this summer

The Wise King

Since opening its doors in July 2018, The Wise King has become one of the town’s favourite speakeasy bars and it debuted at rank #18 on Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2019.

In the new summer menu, the bar highlights a brand new signature Negroni called Mandarino Negroni, which includes local distilled N.I.P Gin, Mancino Vermouth Secco, Mandarinetto Isolabella and Rinomato Americano Bianco.

Every quarter, it is the bar’s tradition to create a new signature Negroni, which tends to sell out almost every night. This time, they have gone with a locally distilled gin as it combines traditional botanicals with local aromas, taking the Negroni to a more unique level.

Another tweak of the season is Olla De Barros Dos, a new version to the bar’s signature Olla De Barros. The concoction is aged in a Mancino Vermouth clay pots to impart an earthy flavour and texture, giving a mellow effect to the cocktail.

Address: Basement, 25 Staunton Street, SoHo, Central
