Each cocktail pays homage to its origins through indigenous ingredients and expert craftsmanship, showcasing Kempinski’s dedication to cultural authenticity and creative mixology.

Signature Cocktails Inspired by Seven Cities

•    Shanghai “Nong Hao” Special: A vibrant blend of herbal gin and mellow yellow wine, brightened with lime and pineapple, and finished with rosemary, balancing tropical flair with earthy sophistication.
•    Beijing “Nin Hao” Special: Jasmine tea lends its aromatic depth, balanced with refined mixology, a toast to Beijing’s rich heritage and modern spirit.
•    Hangshou “Jia Jia” Special: Fermented rice wine forms the base, recalling Fuyi Granary’s history. Black pepper and nori evoke misty Hangshou Bay, while citrus and grape notes celebrate the season.
•    Chengdu “Ba Shi” Special: Sichuan pepper–infused vodka awakens the senses, mellowed by cranberry and pineapple for a lingering, complex finish.
•    Xiamen “Li He” Special: The selected Tieguanyin tea from Anxi collides with the herbal sharpness of gin. Its elegance and richness complement each other, delicately interpreting the Minnan culture.
•    Nanjing “Lai Si” Special: Cold-brew Yuhua tea blends with herbal gin, brightened by lemon and crowned with a light foam.
•    Jinan “Si R” Special: Pingyin rose blossoms steeped in white rum reveal honeyed floral notes and a spirited finish, an elixir reminiscent of spring dew.

Three of these distinctive cocktails will be available daily on rotation, paired with locally inspired canapés, allowing guests to embark on a sensory journey across China without leaving the lounge.
