ARGO, the award‑winning bar at Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong, launches "ARGO Exploration," a new cocktail menu rooted in Hong Kong's people, seasons, and creative spirit.

Led by Beverage Manager Jonathan Gabbay, the menu marks a thoughtful evolution for the bar (ranked No. 11 on Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2025), shifting its focus inward to celebrate collaboration, craftsmanship, and a strong sense of place.

Structured around twelve cocktails across two distinct chapters, ARGO Exploration invites guests on a journey through flavor and storytelling. Rather than chasing global trends, the team looks closer to home, drawing inspiration from local artisans, neighborhood institutions, and seasonal ingredients that reflect Hong Kong’s character and rhythm.

The first chapter places collaboration at the forefront, with six cocktails co‑created alongside Hong Kong craftsmen from diverse disciplines. These partnerships span traditional and contemporary corners of the city, including Chinese medicine practitioner Dr. James Ting of Magnolia Lab, Tai On Coffee & Tea in Yau Ma Tei, LoCoFARMS, Big JJ Seafood Hotpot, artist Tam Mei Yi Amy, and tattoo artist Marcus Yuen of 59 Tattoo.

Highlights include Hong Kong Punch, a tribute to the city's coffee and tea culture made with Rémy Martin V.S.O.P, shochu, Magnolia botanical liqueur, black tea, and egg tart foam, served with a butter tartlet for scooping. Morning Bite, inspired by the Breakfast Martini, blends gin, Chardonnay, Strega, and banana jam created with LoCoFARMS, offering a bright, gently sour profile.

Chapter Two turns to seasonality, with cocktails shaped by ingredients at their natural peak. Clean, direct, and structured around modern classics, these drinks evolve throughout the year. Standouts include Rooty Slushy, a playful rum‑based drink blending sweet potato, amaro, truffle honey, raspberry sorbet, and balsamic, and Pickled G&T, which introduces pickled kale alongside gin, shochu, and Riesling for a savory, bracing twist.

For those who enjoy a slower sip, Herbal Boulevardier pairs bourbon with Fernet Hunter and Mancino Bianco, anchored by a roselle‑infused Campari ice sphere that gradually transforms the drink as it melts.

Completing the menu is Timeless Passages, a selection of ten of ARGO’s most beloved classics, including the signature ARGO Martini, made with the bar’s house gin created in collaboration with Australia’s The Never Never Distilling Co. The menu is complemented by a refreshed lineup of bar bites such as Crispy Softshell Crab Open Maki and Iceberg Lettuce Roll with Drunken Chicken, designed for sharing.

The ARGO Exploration menu is now available at ARGO Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong. Cocktails are priced from HK$180, subject to a 10% service charge.
