Join the much-awaited celebration of bars in Hong Kong as the city hosts Asia’s 50 Best Bars awards ceremony for the first time. At the heart of the action is Rosewood Hong Kong, the awards’ official venue partner, where the private ceremony will take place on July 18.
To kick off the festivities, Rosewood’s flagship bar, DarkSide, is hosting Barcelona’s renowned bar Paradiso, ranked number 1 in the world at The World’s Best Bar 2022. From July 16 to 17, 9pm to midnight, mixologist Giacomo Giannotti will team up with DarkSide’s director of bars, Simone Rossi, and bar manager, KT Lam, to shake and stir world-class signature cocktails for everyone to enjoy. You will have the opportunity to taste Paradiso’s most popular cocktails, including their Negroni riff called Evolution Negroni with mango, vanilla, and chai tea flavours, the refreshing gin-based Tesla, and the bubbly and complex Fleming with miso-flavoured tequila blanco, beer syrup, Mancino Secco, among other cocktails with exciting ingredients.
