The Jasmine Adventure at The Drunken Monkey

Traditionally, the Jasmine flower is celebrated in China for its distinctive fragrance, lucky symbolism, harmony and the definition of beauty. Historically enjoyed in tea and now rediscovered for a new generation with Willem Barentsz gin in an elegantly floral spirit with a delicate aftertaste that instantly transports senses to the Far East.

Gin may not be your first guess when wondering what cocktails pair nicely with Asian cuisine, but our gin is truly a chameleon with its Exotic Jasmine and other global botanicals. It lends itself perfectly to rich savoury dishes and light fluffy concoctions. The Drunken Monkey, a popular dim sum eatery and cocktail bar is the perfect place to meet and mix east and west. 

For Chinese New Year, a colorful and extravagant celebration, The Drunken Monkey has teamed up with Willem Barentsz and created the perfect fusion cocktails sure to start your year and night off with a bang! Join us for The Jasmine Adventure of a lifetime!
