The latest Hong Kong food news and events 2025
It is once again time for Caprice Bar at Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong to refresh their yearly bar menu – this time named Elements. Bar manager Anyss Saintilan has spent months perfecting nine cocktails inspired by fundamental elements and textures found in nature, namely Flower, Cotton, Water, Leaf, Leather, Fire, Feather, Wood, and Air. The menu is presented in an innovative wooden frame containing nine boxes that guests can swivel to reveal tasting notes, and even slide open to interact with the key ingredients.
Water is a refreshing Champagne-based cocktail with oyster leaf and elderflower that carries a hint of mango and pineapple, despite containing no fruits whatsoever. Pandan lovers will enjoy the gin-based Leaf, a tropical tall drink with celery, lime, sugar, and a dash of absinthe. The further down the menu, the more spirit-forward the drinks get, such as Air, a white Negroni with cucumber-infused gin, Lillet, and Suze that will feature different fruit notes through the year. Other notable mentions include Wood, containing cognac aged in burned sandalwood that allows the spirit to taste different upon each return to Caprice; and the soft, minty Cotton, which is a lovechild of the Grasshopper and the Ramos Gin Fizz. All cocktails are available at $220, and are the perfect accompaniment to the lovely harbour view from Caprice Bar.
