Aqua bars turned into ‘Hanging Gardens of Kyoto’

From 22 September to 21 October, Armani/Prive and aqua spirit will be transformed into a bountiful blend of blossom and botanicals in a month-long pop up with Tanqueray 10 cocktails.

Hong Kong’s defiantly urban Central and Tsim Sha Tsui districts are set for a flowery face-lift as more than 100,00 blooms and vines will festoon Hong Kong’s Aqua bars complete with five Tanqueray 10 cocktails all based on herbs and flower essences throughout September and October.

In Tsim Sha Tsui’s ‘Scent-Stations’, cocktail lovers can explore the aromas correlating to the botanical blends found in Tanqueray 10 and in Centra’s Armani/aqua sample the ‘nature-inspired’ tasting menu.
