Red Sugarâs new cocktail menu â Cantonese heritage flowing into liquid poetry
Red Sugar at Kerry Hotel unfolds a lyrical journey with âLiĂșâ (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.Â
Â
Revel in familiar Cantonese flavours â Chenpi, salted plum, chrysanthemum â reimagined with contemporary mixology techniques like fatâwashing, tea infusions, and smoke aromatics. Highlights include ChĆ«n (spring), a floral gin sour kissed with Tieguanyin tea and elderflower liqueur, capturing the delicate fragrance of spring. DĆng (winter) offers a bold twist on the Old Fashioned, with goose fatâwashed bourbon and a whisper of lychee wood smoke â an homage to Hong Kongâs iconic roast goose. For something tart and soothing, MĂ©i (plum) blends salted plum, Huadiao wine, and hibiscus tea, while ZhĂș (bamboo) refreshes with Chu Yeh Ching Chiew, cucumber, and pineapple juice.Â
