The Tainan watering hole is partnering with NIP Gin to present Bar Lonely\u2019s unique approach to tea cocktails inspired by Japan\u2019s Showa era. The original bar presents inspiring signatures like the M (Princess Princess 1988), inspired by the Zombie classic cocktail and combining rum, bourbon, Iron Buddha oolong tea, home-made falernum and more.<\/div>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\"><strong data-qa=\"ContentSchemaRender-defaultRenderMapFunctions-Component\" class=\"css-1mniedq ex3nmsa17\">Where:<\/strong> LG\/F, Hilltop Plaza, 49 Hollywood Road, Central<\/p>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\"><strong data-qa=\"ContentSchemaRender-defaultRenderMapFunctions-Component\" class=\"css-1mniedq ex3nmsa17\">When:<\/strong> 8pm-11pm<\/p>\n<h3 type=\"h3\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"eh0yk8h0 css-17x7qa9 e1pqa4re1\"><strong data-qa=\"ContentSchemaRender-defaultRenderMapFunctions-Component\" class=\"css-1mniedq ex3nmsa17\">Friday, November 21<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4 type=\"h4\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"eh0yk8h0 css-1xqmoxd e1pqa4re0\"><strong data-qa=\"ContentSchemaRender-defaultRenderMapFunctions-Component\" class=\"css-1mniedq ex3nmsa17\">Madara pays tribute to the Bard<\/strong><\/h4>\n<div class=\"image-inline-container e1a5rv550 css-1llrc1m e1yqhwb40\" data-qa=\"Component-renderMap-StyledDiv\">\n<div class=\"image-inline caption e1fvabeq0 css-19sk4h4 ea9pn0s0\" data-qa=\"Component-Container\">\n<figure class=\"image-inline caption ea9pn0s1 css-1vtntpq e1gf69pb0\" data-qa=\"ArticleImage-ArticleImageContainer\">\n<div data-qa=\"ArticleImage-handleRenderImage-ImageContainer\" class=\"css-0 e1gf69pb3\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A Rose By Any Other Name at Madara, Hong Kong.

Co-founder Rayven Leung and his team leverage the bar\u2019s already keen expertise on tea and fruit cocktails in concoctions like the Musk Rose \u2013 Capricious Beauty, inspired by <em data-qa=\"ContentSchemaRender-defaultRenderMapFunctions-Component\" class=\"css-1mniedq ex3nmsa15\">A Midsummer Night\u2019s Dream<\/em> and the flower\u2019s connection to the Fairy Queen. The drink features a Wa Bi Gin The Forest along with The Herbalist Yaso\u2019s Absinthe prototype03.<\/p>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">Of course, no Shakespeare signature list is complete without a <em data-qa=\"ContentSchemaRender-defaultRenderMapFunctions-Component\" class=\"css-1mniedq ex3nmsa15\">Romeo and Juliet<\/em> cocktail, for which Madara answers with the Rose \u2013 A Rose by Any Other Name, inspired by Juliet\u2019s monologue about names, fragrance, romance and destiny. This concoction uses the Wa Bi Gin Damask Rose and combines it with Liqueur De The Jossie Mate and fresh Japanese strawberries for a sweeter palate that packs a punch.<\/p>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\"><strong data-qa=\"ContentSchemaRender-defaultRenderMapFunctions-Component\" class=\"css-1mniedq ex3nmsa17\">Where:<\/strong> 16\/F, Circle Tower, 28 Tang Lung Street, Causeway Bay<\/p>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\"><strong data-qa=\"ContentSchemaRender-defaultRenderMapFunctions-Component\" class=\"css-1mniedq ex3nmsa17\">When:<\/strong> 5pm-1am<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scmp.com\/lifestyle\/100-top-tables\/article\/3333271\/your-hong-kong-weekend-drinks-guide-november-20-22?utm_source=rss_feed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s a weekend of meticulous signatures.
