Shaking Things Up at MO BAR Shenzhen with Southeast Asian-Inspired Cocktails
On 23 November at 7 PM, F*nkytown will be bringing its unique mixology style to MO BAR in Shenzhen, introducing a lineup of Southeast Asian-inspired cocktails.
With an emphasis on bold flavours and unconventional ingredients, the menu includes drinks like Taiguonaicha—a creamy, boozy twist on classic milk tea featuring Hine VSOP and a layer of cream cheese froth, with boba pearls for an extra treat. The Winter Melon Collins combines chicken-fat-washed Peddler’s Rare Eastern Gin with a vermouth blend, preserved lime, and soda, delivering a savoury take on a refreshing classic. Also on the menu is the fan favourite, the Durian Colada, blending Casa Noble Blanco Tequila with jasmine rice essence, coconut, and a durian float.
F*nkytown’s Spirit Meets Bangalore in a Takeover at Muro Bar
As the festivities continue, F*nkytown will head to Muro Bar in Bangalore on 29 and 30 November. From 7PM, guests can savour a selection of signature cocktails and bites that encapsulate F*nkytown’s Southeast Asian-inspired spirit. Among the highlights is the Thai Tea Tarik that promises a creamy, indulgent experience, pairing rum and V.S.O.P. cognac with the sweetness of Thai milk tea, rounded out with brown sugar boba and a cream cheese froth. The Green Curry cocktail takes a different route, offering a refreshing take on gin with fragrant green curry spices, lime, chilli, kaffir lime, and a light, frothy egg white finish.
Complementing the cocktails are bites such as the Mutton Sai Oua Corndog, served with a kick of fermented chilli mayo and kimchi powder, and the Shrimp Toast —a delightful fusion of baby shrimp crumb, yuzu kosho, nori paste, and pickled shimeji mushrooms.
Debuting at Khi Khi New Delhi for a Reciprocal Shift
F*nkytown’s journey continues on 6 December at 7PM with a debut guest shift at Khi Khi New Delhi, reciprocating the earlier collaboration when Khi Khi’s team joined F*nkytown. Guests can look forward to a mix of F*nkytown’s celebrated cocktails and fresh creations.
The Tom Yum Highball is a vibrant cocktail that blends the aromatic warmth of tom yum soup with gin, elderflower, and yuzu brine, then lightened with coconut and nam prik pow chilli jam, and topped with soda for a refreshing sparkle. Another highlight, the Melon Cream Soda, combines gin, vanilla, pandan, Midori, and Campari with a cool melon sorbet, evoking the nostalgia of classic cream soda with a tropical twist.
Guests can also indulge in the Tuna Crudo Tart, featuring fresh tuna with hints of lemongrass, pink pomelo, and a preserved lime dressing. For those who prefer something heartier, the F*nky Smash Burger offers a savoury blend of smashed mutton patty, cheddar, onion jam, and pickle sauce—a true treat for the tastebuds.
