3 cocktail bars I recommend in Hong Kong

3) Angel's Shares

Ok not really a cocktail bar but rather a specialist whisky bar instead. But the bartenders there got some really fun and interesting whisky base cocktail. Try the foie gras manhattan as your pre dinner cocktail. Whisky infused with foe gras juice then age in a little container before the usual manhattan ingredients added to create a rich and complex taste. Or try the house whisky sour for a sweeter and mellower taste.

Some rare Japanese Whisky

While you are there do not miss out the chance to try their house special: whisky straight from the barrel. The bar rotate whisky barrel from Scotland to offer something truly special. On my visit it was a Highland Park 16 and it just tasted so much different to the normal bottle strength. Not as peaty as expected and was very sweet with layers of different flavours.
This is well worth a visit for Whisky and whisky base cocktail fans.

1) Quinary

Antonio, the co owner and head bartender of Quinary, created one of the most talked about cocktail venue in Hong Kong in 2012. 

The multi senses approach inspired by El Bulli's food science methodology has really taken cocktail to a whole new level. The signature: Earl Grey Caviar Martini is a treat to your palate, but what impressed me the most was the Oaked Havana, the aged rum resting in mini barrel with the ingredients created such a smooth, complex and elegant cocktail. This is a cocktail that can impress a seasonal whisky or rum drinker, a gentleman's cocktail, I wished I had a cigar with me at that point!
