Dead Poets in Central is kicking off late‑Feb with Hong Kong’s first spiked boba tea menu, running Feb. 16 to May 16, 2026 with each drink priced at HK$50. The lineup uses 0% ABV CROSSIP as its base, with optional upgrades of Rum, Whisky, Gin, Vodka, or Tequila for anyone looking to turn their tea into trouble.
To mark the launch, Dead Poets will throw a high‑energy ‘Spiked Boba Tea Rave’ on Feb. 28 featuring DJ BB Lamb spinning Hip Hop, R&B, and chart favorites. Tickets go for HK$150, which includes one spiked or zero‑proof boba tea.
The menu pays homage to Hong Kong’s tea‑stand culture while staying true to Dead Poets’ offbeat liquid experimentation. The Dandy Hong Kong Smoked Milk Tea layers smoked black tea with evaporated milk, whole milk, hibiscus, and tapioca pearls. The Fresh Citrus Jasmine Highball Tea brings jasmine green tea, citrus, and honey together with a choice of tapioca or mango pearls. The Pure Grapefruit Hibiscus Tea blends hibiscus and grapefruit black tea, with milk or oat milk and tapioca pearls available. The Ice Lemon Citrus Boba riffs on classic HK‑style lemon tea or jasmine tea with fresh lemon, citrus, and mango pearls.
The Feb. 28 rave runs 4-7 PM, turning the barbershop‑meets‑bar concept into a playful afternoon detour ahead of the city’s Arts Row programming for March.
Menu availability spans Feb. 16-May 16, with each drink at HK$50. Tickets for the rave are HK$150 and can be booked via Eventbrite. Dead Poets is located at 41-49 Aberdeen St., Central.
Dead Poets continues to operate as a creative studio by day and a conceptual drinks lab by night. Its ongoing “Liquid Gallery” series explores storytelling through cocktails, with the current chapter, ‘Dead Painters,’ distilling historical icons into liquid form.
