Chinese cocktail indulgence at Palm Court

The Palm Court hotel, Hong Kong, has introduced four creative Chinese-style cocktails - “Guifei”, “Xishi”, “Zhaojun” and “Diaochan”, named after the Four Great Beauties of ancient China, to give a fresh spin to zesty summer drinks from August 10. The four dazzling cocktails featuring traditional Chinese wines namely Kuei Hua Chen Chiew (osmanthus wine), Mei Kuei Lu Chiew (rose wine) and Shao Hsing Chia Fan Chiew (rice wine) will bring you a whole new taste sensation.

“Guifei” – Rose wine with Lychee Liqueur

Yang Guifei, a favoured consort of Emperor Xuanzong of the T’ang Dynasty, was famous for her fondness of lychee. Enchanted by Yang’s great beauty, the emperor pleased her in every way including the extravagance of arranging the pony-express to bring Yang’s favourite fruit, fresh lychee, to the palace. Our Chief Bartender, Eric Lau, has created a concoction that combines rose wine with lychee liqueur, fresh lychee, lemon and a splash of apple juice to re-create this irresistible imperial taste.

“Xishi” – Osmanthus Wine with Peach Flavour

Xishi was famed as a woman of extraordinary natural beauty and charm. The cocktail named “Xishi”, a blend of osmanthus wine, peach liqueur, apple juice and a hint of fresh lime, is as appealing as the legendary lady, exuding a sense of freshness and sweetness.

“Zhaojun” – Rice Wine with A Taste of Ginger

The story of the courageous act of Wang Zhaojun, who ventured into matrimony with a man from an opposing, foreign kingdom to secure the peace and safety of her own nation, has inspired our chief bartender to pick rice wine as the base for this cocktail, then add a dash of Monin mint, fresh ginger and lemon and top with ginger beer for the creation of “Zhaojun”. The right balance of the full-bodied and aromatic rice wine and ginger produces a strong flavour to resemble a perfect marriage.

“Diaochan” – Osmanthus Wine with Pineapple Vodka

Diaochan appeared as a heroine in the Chinese literacy classic -“Romance of the Three Kingdoms”. You will be surprised by “Diaochan”, a refreshing blend of osmanthus wine and exotic ingredients including pineapple vodka, cranberry juice and fresh lime.

Be enchanted with an inspiring array of Chinese-style cocktails and indulge in the world of fine paintings and sculptures by contemporary Chinese artists at The Palm Court. All cocktails are priced at HK$78 each (subject to 10% service charge).
