Your Hong Kong weekend drinks guide for May 16-18

It’s all about Hong Kong this weekend as one of Hong Kong’s local favourites, Serendipity, hosts Ling Chan – formerly of Plantation Tea Bar – after a year away from the game. Ginsanity takes over PMQ for the weekend proper, a perfect opportunity to sip a plethora of gins and cocktails as Hong Kong warms up. In Macau, our very own Ajit Gurung from The Savory Project joins hands with Nokoy Mak at Galaxy Macau’s Long Bar for a night of top tipples in our sister SAR.

What: One of Hong Kong’s finest re-emerges at Serendipity in Central to deliver her unique blend of flavours and concoctions. Ling Chan, formerly of Origin, The Diplomat and Plantation Tea Bar, hosts an independent guest shift showcasing an array of signatures based on fruits, nuts, tea, coffee and more. Serendipity itself is a bar that seems to do it all – from food and shisha to cocktails and even the occasional Cantopop disco.

What: Head up to PMQ this weekend for Hong Kong’s biggest gin festival! Enjoy over 100 variations of gin from 60 distilleries in SoHo’s balmy outdoors in a pay-as-you-go format with free admission. In addition to gins, speciality cocktails and non-alcoholic options will be available, as will tonic from Mezzanine Makers. As well as the myriad booths on show, there will be masterclasses, music performances and lucky draws taking place throughout the weekend to celebrate the spirit.
