Hong Kong, March 2022 – The Hari is delighted to launch its first ever brand of gin in conjunction with sister property, The Hari London. Having won silver for World’s Best Contemporary Style at the renowned World Gin Awards 2022, The Hari Gin is a spiced, aromatic take on the traditional London Dry.
Combining the warming spices of cardamom, cassia bark, star anise and cloves, The Hari Gin encapsulates the Indian heritage of the Harilela family and the passion bestowed by CEO and Chairman, Dr Aron Harilela’s late father, Dr. Hari Harilela, for a classic gin Martini.
Enjoy the latest collection of cocktails available at The Hari Hong Kong, each featuring The Hari Gin at its heart.
Sprezzatura – Served at Lucciola Restaurant & Bar
More of a concept than a word, it was created in the 16th century by Baldassare Castiglione in his work The Book of Courtier. It means a kind of effortless elegance. To be truly sprezzatura, you should make sure you never look like you are trying too hard.
The Hari Gin is combined with apple, lime, sugar syrup, and tabasco and served in a Riedel Sour Glass, garnished with a metal cocktail pick and a blue cheese stuffed olive.
Blaue Blume – Served at Zoku Restaurant & The Terrace
Blue Flower, a central symbol of inspiration for the Romanticism movement, remains an enduring motif in Western art today. It stands for desire, love, and the metaphysical striving for the infinite and unreachable. It symbolizes hope and the beauty of things.
The Hari Gin is mixed with Yuzu, peach puree, honey, cider and lime, and served in a Flute Champagne Glass, garnished with blue flowers.
Both cocktails are priced at HK$108+10% per glass.
The Hari Gin is available to purchase at The Hari Hong Kong for HKD888 for 70cl, and is the ideal gift for gin lovers who fancy a little adventure.
