Red Sugar’s new cocktail menu – Cantonese heritage flowing into liquid poetry

Red Sugar at Kerry Hotel unfolds a lyrical journey with ‘Liú’ (flow), its new cocktail menu. Inspired by the ancient Chinese philosophy of the Four Seasons and the symbolic Four Gentlemen, the menu celebrates virtues of grace, resilience, integrity, and elegance through a series of modern libations that feel both timeless and fresh. 

Revel in familiar Cantonese flavours – Chenpi, salted plum, chrysanthemum – reimagined with contemporary mixology techniques like fat‑washing, tea infusions, and smoke aromatics. Highlights include Chūn (spring), a floral gin sour kissed with Tieguanyin tea and elderflower liqueur, capturing the delicate fragrance of spring. Dōng (winter) offers a bold twist on the Old Fashioned, with goose fat‑washed bourbon and a whisper of lychee wood smoke – an homage to Hong Kong’s iconic roast goose. For something tart and soothing, Méi (plum) blends salted plum, Huadiao wine, and hibiscus tea, while Zhú (bamboo) refreshes with Chu Yeh Ching Chiew, cucumber, and pineapple juice. 

Each cocktail is priced at HK$148 (plus 10% service charge). Pair your drinks with Red Sugar’s new snack menu, where Cantonese classics get playful updates: prawn toast with sesame and sweet‑and‑sour sauce, a mapo tofu quesadilla that fuses Sichuan spice with Mexican comfort, and fried chicken glazed with fermented bean curd.

With Liú, Red Sugar invites you to sip, savour, and celebrate Cantonese heritage. View the full details here.
