SoHo, Hong Kong
Antonio Lai's Molecular Cocktail Programme
Quinary has been ranked in the World's 50 Best Bars list for years. Antonio Lai runs the bar and the cocktail programme is committed to molecular technique — sous vide infusions, fat washing, foams, smoke, edible bubbles. The cocktails are theatrical without being gimmicky.
The Earl Grey Caviar Martini uses sous-vide-infused gin with edible Earl Grey caviar pearls. The Smoked Old Fashioned arrives under a smoke cloche. The drinks are technically precise and the bartenders explain each technique.
The crowd is mid-thirties Hong Kong cocktail enthusiasts and visiting cocktail tourists. Pair with The Old Man for a complete Hong Kong world-ranked cocktail evening.
