Hong Kong’s Two Moons Distillery releases its new flavour — Calamansi Gin, making its launch appearance at Quinary alongside a limited-time-only cocktail menu by Antonio Lai.
Themed #findingcalamansi, the collaboration sets in a botanical backdrop with three cocktails inspired by the mutual love for adventure and discovery, available throughout June to freshen you up amidst the sweltering summer heat.
The Two Moons Calamansi Gin is a new addition to the distillery’s Signature Dry Gin, highlighting the calamansi, a tiny citrus native throughout Asia, with a distinctive tart sweetness as well as bright, zesty flavours.
Taking inspiration from the cardinal directions — North, East, South and West – the new cocktail selection allows sippers to enter the realm of Two Moons and navigate through the land, sea and air where an inexhaustible source of exotic fauna and flora lay hidden in its depths.
Start your adventure in the North, a symbolism for creativity and new beginnings and first head to the East Ends, a lush jungle dotted with calamansi during the summer season. Let the scents of bursting citrus enliven your senses, as the distillery harvests this native fruit for the Two Moons Calamansi Gin & Tonic.

Next, venture out into the South Seas, where summertime will find many frolicking in the waves. Take in the ocean breeze as you walk amidst the towering wooden crates of fresh calamansi and yuzu by the harbour and sip on a beautiful blend of sea salt and fragrant citruses, creating a refreshingly umami experience.
Finally, guests with an adventurous mind will find the next cocktail an absolute charm. Hop onto a hot air balloon and let the West Wind take you on a flight of fancy, allowing sweet vanilla “air” to weave through Two Moons Calamansi Gin, as well as the sweet floral fragrance of melon and bergamot.
