Bar Tincture \u2013 helmed by ex-Bar Buonasera bartender Bone Cheng \u2013 quietly opened last month on the 23rd floor of Foco in Central with a foundation in precise, Ginza-style mixology and a focus on an underrated staple of that philosophy. A tincture is a concentrated extract of herbs, spices, flowers and fruits that can add whole new layers of dimension to a cocktail. Unsurprisingly then, the concept takes housemade tinctures, amaro, bitters and botanical infusions and uses them to craft modern twists on classics, seasonal fruit cocktails and a robust bespoke cocktails programme.<\/p>\n
