Enjoy creative guest shifts by top bartenders from Manila and Shanghai, and take the last chance to sip Terrible Baby’s summer cocktails
As we begin to bid farewell to summer, Kowloon is offering a packed weekend for those seeking refuge from the rain. Manila-born coffee-cocktail hybrid concept Raion arrives at Avoca at the Mondrian, whilst Bar Buonasera hosts Laizhou Bar from Shanghai as part of its seventh anniversary celebrations. Last but not least, it’s one of the last weekends to take a sip of Terrible Baby’s summer specials.
What: In just its second year, Raion from Manila has been making waves for its two-pronged approach, serving coffee by day and cutting-edge contemporary cocktails by night. Co-founders Shinichi Itoh and Kate Osmillo arrive in Hong Kong to take over Avoca at Mondrian Hong Kong with a set of four signature cocktails and twists on classics. The quirky Cheese Burger combines Ron Matusalem 15 rum with tomato ketchup, garlic chive and ancho verde, whilst the Kingston Negroni combines Ron Matusalem 23 with Ratafia Rossi, sweet vermouth, umeshu and chocolate mole.
Where: Avoca, 38/F, Mondrian Hong Kong, 8A Hart Ave, Tsim Sha Tsui
When: 8pm – 11pm
