Your Hong Kong weekend drinks guide for December 5-7
Molecular mixology OG Quinary launches a menu that takes cues from local flavours, speakeasy 001 – now at Tai Kwun – celebrates 15 years, and we say goodbye to Foxglove
On Sunday, Hong Kong’s original speakeasy 001 celebrates 15 years in the scene as three of its original staff take over the bar for one night. However, Foxglove, which just turned 10 years old, has announced its final performances before its closure later this month.

Quinary’s new menu – The Five Senses: Flavour
Start off your weekend with something new. Quinary, one of Hong Kong’s earliest adopters of molecular and multisensory mixology, has released a new menu focused on the senses. The Five Senses: Flavour menu presents eight new drinks that follow on from the previous menu, Texture.
The Cheeky Float, for example, combines Two Moons’ five flowers tea gin – based on Chinese “five flowers” herbal tea – sugar cane juice, lime and ginger, evoking roadside herbal teas and keeping the drinking public healthy on nights out. Meanwhile, O Venice! is inspired by Tai O, involving shrimp oil fat-washed tequila, Sichuan pepper-infused mescal, strawberry Campari, crab vinegar pickled juice, clarified clamato juice and shiso tincture.
Where: 56-58 Hollywood Road, Central
