becoming far more intentional. As drinking habits shift and casual nightlife slows down, the high-end cocktail scene is elevating to meet a crowd that values depth over simple night-outs. After kicking off the year\u2019s celebratory series in North America and following up with Europe\u2019s historic debut in Amsterdam, the celebration made its third and final regional pitstop in Macau. Returning for its second year in this dedicated regional showcase, Asia\u2019s 50 Best Bars gathered the continent\u2019s premier mixology heavyweights at Wynn Palace in Macau. Hypemaps was on the ground with Cointreau, gaining behind-the-scenes access to a night that felt like a high-stakes spectacle and a tight-knit family reunion.<\/p>\n<p>As the Official Orange Liqueur Partner of The World\u2019s 50 Best Bars, Cointreau served as a focal point throughout the evening, sponsoring the signature ceremonial red scarves worn by all top 50 nominees. Representing Cointreau behind the bar, Kai Ng of Hong Kong\u2019s Quinary showcased the brand\u2019s latest spirit, the Cointreau Spicy. Riffing on the beloved spicy margarita template, he paired the new spirit with tequila, clarified grapefruit, jalape\u00f1o syrup, and fig leaf soda. Because the spirit is actually infused with Bird\u2019s Eye chili and Jalape\u00f1o, it surprisingly delivered a subtle, warming finish instead of upfront heat. The perfect kick to start off the night.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"inner-container\">\n<div class=\"inner-content\">\n<div class=\"adunit-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"in-content-ad-outer\">\n<div class=\"adunit in-content lazy-load no-init\" data-adunit=\"Hypebeast_In_Content\" data-dimensions=\"300x250,2x2\" data-sortable=\"false\" data-targeting=\"{&quot;HBSiteLoc&quot;:[&quot;ros&quot;,&quot;article&quot;],&quot;HBSiteCat&quot;:[&quot;food-beverage&quot;,&quot;asias-50-best-bars&quot;,&quot;asias-50-best-bars-2026&quot;],&quot;HBSitePage&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;HBSiteLang&quot;:&quot;en&quot;,&quot;country&quot;:&quot;ro&quot;,&quot;region&quot;:&quot;emea&quot;,&quot;subRegion&quot;:&quot;europe&quot;,&quot;HBArticle&quot;:&quot;6763568&quot;,&quot;HBBlacklist&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-size-mapping=\"in-content\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>When the live countdown commenced, the tension in the room was palpable. But as each placement rolled out, the competitive edge quickly dissolved into genuine applause, with the entire room erupting in roars for every city represented.\n<\/p>\n<p>When the top spots were finally unveiled, the results made regional history. Taking the No. 1 spot as The Best Bar in Asia 2026 was Guangzhou\u2019s Hope &amp; Sesame, marking a historic milestone as the first venue from Mainland China to claim the top spot. Seoul\u2019s Zest followed closely at No. 2, maintaining its top-tier standing with its forward-thinking, zero-waste mixology. Rounding out the podium at No. 3 was Hong Kong\u2019s Bar Leone, which was last year\u2019s overall winner. Proving that unpretentious, classic Italian cocktail culture still holds an endless appeal across the region.\n<\/p>\n<p>The crowning moment belonged to Hope &amp; Sesame co-founder Andrew Ho, who took the stage after a decade of quiet, relentless hustling behind a hidden speakeasy door in Guangzhou. Ho reflected on starting 10 years ago with zero investor backing, navigating the highs and lows of bad drinks, good reviews, and financial uncertainty, only to build one of the most respected bar communities in the world.\n<\/p>\n<p>That sentiment of resilience resonated across the entire room. From long-standing icons like Singapore\u2019s Jigger &amp; Pony staying at the top of their game for over a decade, to fresh venues redefining what service looks like in emerging markets, the night proved that the region\u2019s cocktail map continues to develop with global presence. It\u2019s this spirit of innovation and community that Cointreau has long championed through its support of the global bar industry.\n<\/p>\n<p>As Macau\u2019s lights dimmed and the afterparties spilled out across the city, one truth stood out: whether a bar is tucked down an alley in Seoul, high up above Bangkok, or hidden behind a Cantonese shopfront in Guangzhou, the core ingredients never change. The best bars aren\u2019t just defined by awards, but they are built on resilience, human connection, consistency, and a deep-rooted passion for incredible drinks.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCLAIMER: <\/strong><em>We discourage irresponsible and\/or underage drinking.

becoming far more intentional. As drinking habits shift and casual nightlife slows down, the high-end cocktail scene is elevating to meet a crowd that values depth over simple night-outs. After kicking off the year\u2019s celebratory series in North America and following up with Europe\u2019s historic debut in Amsterdam, the celebration made its third and final regional pitstop in Macau. Returning for its second year in this dedicated regional showcase, Asia\u2019s 50 Best Bars gathered the continent\u2019s premier mixology heavyweights at Wynn Palace in Macau. Hypemaps was on the ground with Cointreau, gaining behind-the-scenes access to a night that felt like a high-stakes spectacle and a tight-knit family reunion.<\/p>\n<p>As the Official Orange Liqueur Partner of The World\u2019s 50 Best Bars, Cointreau served as a focal point throughout the evening, sponsoring the signature ceremonial red scarves worn by all top 50 nominees. Representing Cointreau behind the bar, Kai Ng of Hong Kong\u2019s Quinary showcased the brand\u2019s latest spirit, the Cointreau Spicy. Riffing on the beloved spicy margarita template, he paired the new spirit with tequila, clarified grapefruit, jalape\u00f1o syrup, and fig leaf soda. Because the spirit is actually infused with Bird\u2019s Eye chili and Jalape\u00f1o, it surprisingly delivered a subtle, warming finish instead of upfront heat. The perfect kick to start off the night.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"inner-container\">\n<div class=\"inner-content\">\n<div class=\"adunit-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"in-content-ad-outer\">\n<div class=\"adunit in-content lazy-load no-init\" data-adunit=\"Hypebeast_In_Content\" data-dimensions=\"300x250,2x2\" data-sortable=\"false\" data-targeting=\"{&quot;HBSiteLoc&quot;:[&quot;ros&quot;,&quot;article&quot;],&quot;HBSiteCat&quot;:[&quot;food-beverage&quot;,&quot;asias-50-best-bars&quot;,&quot;asias-50-best-bars-2026&quot;],&quot;HBSitePage&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;HBSiteLang&quot;:&quot;en&quot;,&quot;country&quot;:&quot;ro&quot;,&quot;region&quot;:&quot;emea&quot;,&quot;subRegion&quot;:&quot;europe&quot;,&quot;HBArticle&quot;:&quot;6763568&quot;,&quot;HBBlacklist&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-size-mapping=\"in-content\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>When the live countdown commenced, the tension in the room was palpable. But as each placement rolled out, the competitive edge quickly dissolved into genuine applause, with the entire room erupting in roars for every city represented.\n<\/p>\n<p>When the top spots were finally unveiled, the results made regional history. Taking the No. 1 spot as The Best Bar in Asia 2026 was Guangzhou\u2019s Hope &amp; Sesame, marking a historic milestone as the first venue from Mainland China to claim the top spot. Seoul\u2019s Zest followed closely at No. 2, maintaining its top-tier standing with its forward-thinking, zero-waste mixology. Rounding out the podium at No. 3 was Hong Kong\u2019s Bar Leone, which was last year\u2019s overall winner. Proving that unpretentious, classic Italian cocktail culture still holds an endless appeal across the region.\n<\/p>\n<p>The crowning moment belonged to Hope &amp; Sesame co-founder Andrew Ho, who took the stage after a decade of quiet, relentless hustling behind a hidden speakeasy door in Guangzhou. Ho reflected on starting 10 years ago with zero investor backing, navigating the highs and lows of bad drinks, good reviews, and financial uncertainty, only to build one of the most respected bar communities in the world.\n<\/p>\n<p>That sentiment of resilience resonated across the entire room. From long-standing icons like Singapore\u2019s Jigger &amp; Pony staying at the top of their game for over a decade, to fresh venues redefining what service looks like in emerging markets, the night proved that the region\u2019s cocktail map continues to develop with global presence. It\u2019s this spirit of innovation and community that Cointreau has long championed through its support of the global bar industry.\n<\/p>\n<p>As Macau\u2019s lights dimmed and the afterparties spilled out across the city, one truth stood out: whether a bar is tucked down an alley in Seoul, high up above Bangkok, or hidden behind a Cantonese shopfront in Guangzhou, the core ingredients never change. The best bars aren\u2019t just defined by awards, but they are built on resilience, human connection, consistency, and a deep-rooted passion for incredible drinks.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCLAIMER: <\/strong><em>We discourage irresponsible and\/or underage drinking.

becoming far more intentional. As drinking habits shift and casual nightlife slows down, the high-end cocktail scene is elevating to meet a crowd that values depth over simple night-outs. After kicking off the year\u2019s celebratory series in North America and following up with Europe\u2019s historic debut in Amsterdam, the celebration made its third and final regional pitstop in Macau. Returning for its second year in this dedicated regional showcase, Asia\u2019s 50 Best Bars gathered the continent\u2019s premier mixology heavyweights at Wynn Palace in Macau. Hypemaps was on the ground with Cointreau, gaining behind-the-scenes access to a night that felt like a high-stakes spectacle and a tight-knit family reunion.<\/p>\n<p>As the Official Orange Liqueur Partner of The World\u2019s 50 Best Bars, Cointreau served as a focal point throughout the evening, sponsoring the signature ceremonial red scarves worn by all top 50 nominees. Representing Cointreau behind the bar, Kai Ng of Hong Kong\u2019s Quinary showcased the brand\u2019s latest spirit, the Cointreau Spicy. Riffing on the beloved spicy margarita template, he paired the new spirit with tequila, clarified grapefruit, jalape\u00f1o syrup, and fig leaf soda. Because the spirit is actually infused with Bird\u2019s Eye chili and Jalape\u00f1o, it surprisingly delivered a subtle, warming finish instead of upfront heat. The perfect kick to start off the night.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"inner-container\">\n<div class=\"inner-content\">\n<div class=\"adunit-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"in-content-ad-outer\">\n<div class=\"adunit in-content lazy-load no-init\" data-adunit=\"Hypebeast_In_Content\" data-dimensions=\"300x250,2x2\" data-sortable=\"false\" data-targeting=\"{&quot;HBSiteLoc&quot;:[&quot;ros&quot;,&quot;article&quot;],&quot;HBSiteCat&quot;:[&quot;food-beverage&quot;,&quot;asias-50-best-bars&quot;,&quot;asias-50-best-bars-2026&quot;],&quot;HBSitePage&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;HBSiteLang&quot;:&quot;en&quot;,&quot;country&quot;:&quot;ro&quot;,&quot;region&quot;:&quot;emea&quot;,&quot;subRegion&quot;:&quot;europe&quot;,&quot;HBArticle&quot;:&quot;6763568&quot;,&quot;HBBlacklist&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-size-mapping=\"in-content\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>When the live countdown commenced, the tension in the room was palpable. But as each placement rolled out, the competitive edge quickly dissolved into genuine applause, with the entire room erupting in roars for every city represented.\n<\/p>\n<p>When the top spots were finally unveiled, the results made regional history. Taking the No. 1 spot as The Best Bar in Asia 2026 was Guangzhou\u2019s Hope &amp; Sesame, marking a historic milestone as the first venue from Mainland China to claim the top spot. Seoul\u2019s Zest followed closely at No. 2, maintaining its top-tier standing with its forward-thinking, zero-waste mixology. Rounding out the podium at No. 3 was Hong Kong\u2019s Bar Leone, which was last year\u2019s overall winner. Proving that unpretentious, classic Italian cocktail culture still holds an endless appeal across the region.\n<\/p>\n<p>The crowning moment belonged to Hope &amp; Sesame co-founder Andrew Ho, who took the stage after a decade of quiet, relentless hustling behind a hidden speakeasy door in Guangzhou. Ho reflected on starting 10 years ago with zero investor backing, navigating the highs and lows of bad drinks, good reviews, and financial uncertainty, only to build one of the most respected bar communities in the world.\n<\/p>\n<p>That sentiment of resilience resonated across the entire room. From long-standing icons like Singapore\u2019s Jigger &amp; Pony staying at the top of their game for over a decade, to fresh venues redefining what service looks like in emerging markets, the night proved that the region\u2019s cocktail map continues to develop with global presence. It\u2019s this spirit of innovation and community that Cointreau has long championed through its support of the global bar industry.\n<\/p>\n<p>As Macau\u2019s lights dimmed and the afterparties spilled out across the city, one truth stood out: whether a bar is tucked down an alley in Seoul, high up above Bangkok, or hidden behind a Cantonese shopfront in Guangzhou, the core ingredients never change.

As drinking habits shift and casual nightlife slows down, the high-end cocktail scene is elevating to meet a crowd that values depth over simple night-outs. After kicking off the year\u2019s celebratory series in North America and following up with Europe\u2019s historic debut in Amsterdam, the celebration made its third and final regional pitstop in Macau. Returning for its second year in this dedicated regional showcase, Asia\u2019s 50 Best Bars gathered the continent\u2019s premier mixology heavyweights at Wynn Palace in Macau. Hypemaps was on the ground with Cointreau, gaining behind-the-scenes access to a night that felt like a high-stakes spectacle and a tight-knit family reunion.<\/p>\n<p>As the Official Orange Liqueur Partner of The World\u2019s 50 Best Bars, Cointreau served as a focal point throughout the evening, sponsoring the signature ceremonial red scarves worn by all top 50 nominees. Representing Cointreau behind the bar, Kai Ng of Hong Kong\u2019s Quinary showcased the brand\u2019s latest spirit, the Cointreau Spicy. Riffing on the beloved spicy margarita template, he paired the new spirit with tequila, clarified grapefruit, jalape\u00f1o syrup, and fig leaf soda. Because the spirit is actually infused with Bird\u2019s Eye chili and Jalape\u00f1o, it surprisingly delivered a subtle, warming finish instead of upfront heat. The perfect kick to start off the night.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"inner-container\">\n<div class=\"inner-content\">\n<div class=\"adunit-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"in-content-ad-outer\">\n<div class=\"adunit in-content lazy-load no-init\" data-adunit=\"Hypebeast_In_Content\" data-dimensions=\"300x250,2x2\" data-sortable=\"false\" data-targeting=\"{&quot;HBSiteLoc&quot;:[&quot;ros&quot;,&quot;article&quot;],&quot;HBSiteCat&quot;:[&quot;food-beverage&quot;,&quot;asias-50-best-bars&quot;,&quot;asias-50-best-bars-2026&quot;],&quot;HBSitePage&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;HBSiteLang&quot;:&quot;en&quot;,&quot;country&quot;:&quot;ro&quot;,&quot;region&quot;:&quot;emea&quot;,&quot;subRegion&quot;:&quot;europe&quot;,&quot;HBArticle&quot;:&quot;6763568&quot;,&quot;HBBlacklist&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-size-mapping=\"in-content\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>When the live countdown commenced, the tension in the room was palpable. But as each placement rolled out, the competitive edge quickly dissolved into genuine applause, with the entire room erupting in roars for every city represented.\n<\/p>\n<p>When the top spots were finally unveiled, the results made regional history. Taking the No. 1 spot as The Best Bar in Asia 2026 was Guangzhou\u2019s Hope &amp; Sesame, marking a historic milestone as the first venue from Mainland China to claim the top spot. Seoul\u2019s Zest followed closely at No. 2, maintaining its top-tier standing with its forward-thinking, zero-waste mixology. Rounding out the podium at No. 3 was Hong Kong\u2019s Bar Leone, which was last year\u2019s overall winner. Proving that unpretentious, classic Italian cocktail culture still holds an endless appeal across the region.\n<\/p>\n<p>The crowning moment belonged to Hope &amp; Sesame co-founder Andrew Ho, who took the stage after a decade of quiet, relentless hustling behind a hidden speakeasy door in Guangzhou. Ho reflected on starting 10 years ago with zero investor backing, navigating the highs and lows of bad drinks, good reviews, and financial uncertainty, only to build one of the most respected bar communities in the world.\n<\/p>\n<p>That sentiment of resilience resonated across the entire room. From long-standing icons like Singapore\u2019s Jigger &amp; Pony staying at the top of their game for over a decade, to fresh venues redefining what service looks like in emerging markets, the night proved that the region\u2019s cocktail map continues to develop with global presence. It\u2019s this spirit of innovation and community that Cointreau has long championed through its support of the global bar industry.\n<\/p>\n<p>As Macau\u2019s lights dimmed and the afterparties spilled out across the city, one truth stood out: whether a bar is tucked down an alley in Seoul, high up above Bangkok, or hidden behind a Cantonese shopfront in Guangzhou, the core ingredients never change. The best bars aren\u2019t just defined by awards, but they are built on resilience, human connection, consistency, and a deep-rooted passion for incredible drinks.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCLAIMER: <\/strong><em>We discourage irresponsible and\/or underage drinking.
