Avoca Autumn Whisky Cocktails

Celebrate the flavors, stories, and familiar sights of Kowloon with Avoca Autumn Whisky Cocktails, a seasonal cocktail collection inspired by the neighborhoods and traditions that define Hong Kong in autumn. Drawing from jade markets, Mid-Autumn lanterns, roasted chestnuts, and local folklore, the collection transforms beloved city memories into four distinctive whisky-based creations.

The lineup features "Jade Glow," inspired by the warm golden tones of Yau Ma Tei's Jade Market, combining Highland Park 12 YO, spiced rum, Cocchi Americano, Cointreau, and a touch of salt solution. "Red Lantern" pays tribute to Sham Shui Po's famous Lantern Street, where colorful lanterns illuminate the neighborhood during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Rich and spiced, the cocktail blends Highland Park 12 YO, root beer, Luxardo Maraschino, Ratafia Rossi, and aromatic bitters.

Completing the collection are "One Eyed Man," inspired by the legendary herbal tea hawker of Shanghai Street, and "Under the Bridge," a nod to the roasted chestnut vendors who once gathered beneath Kowloon's bridges. Crafted with whisky, chestnut Demerara, coffee liqueur, walnut bitters, apricot liqueur, ginger, and Pei Pa Koa, these cocktails offer nostalgic flavors with a contemporary Avoca twist.
