What: Start your weekend at The Aubrey as the Mandarin Orientalโ€™s izakaya and cocktail concept hosts Seoulโ€™s Antidote. Owner Joseph Lee will bring several of his barโ€™s signature-style cocktails to Hong Kong, inspired by Antidoteโ€™s approach to spotlighting Korean ingredients. Expect tipples similar to the Omija, a gin and tonic with strawberry and the eponymous magnolia berry, or the Peach, which combines white rum, peach, sparkling wine and Bokbunja, a Korean black raspberry wine.

When: 6pm-10pm
