DarkSide at Rosewood Hong Kong is debuting a new cocktail men inspired by "the eight phases of the moon and their mystical powers" for the city's moon gazing cocktail crowds.

The Waxing Gibbous – Patience

The Waxing Gibbous phase follows the First Quarter, just one small step away from the moon’s full power. 

This is when to persevere and be patient. The corresponding cocktail is a refreshing and tropical stirred Grey Goose vodka and Tio Pepe sherry libation, with exotic notes from coconut and pandan vinegar, balanced with sweet and fruity lychee.

Taro provides a soft undertone of flavour, while a drop of sandalwood creates a complex aroma. Garnished with a single pandan leaf, the drink is served in a rocks glass over a block of ice that symbolises the Milky Way galaxy.
