If there is one cocktail synonymous with the karaoke craze that swept Hong Kong from the 1980s to the 2010s, it is whisky and green tea.<\/p>\n
The combination, which mixes the boozy notes of whisky with the fresh and mildly herbal taste of unoxidised tea, is fondly remembered in the city.<\/p>\n
Many Cantopop<\/span>-loving Hongkongers of drinking age enjoyed the tipple before the city\u2019s karaoke lounges shut down in droves during the Covid-19 pandemic. Now, the cocktail is something of a lost memory, at least locally.<\/div>\n
But on the other side of the world, in Vancouver, Canada, two entrepreneurs have revived the usually self-mixed cocktail, putting their own spin on it in a can and calling it Triple X.O.G.<\/p>\n

In October, the drink\u2019s creators appeared on the Canadian reality television show Dragons\u2019 Den<\/em>, where they received multiple offers from potential investors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
