Returning for its second year in this dedicated regional showcase, Asia’s 50 Best Bars gathered the continent’s premier mixology heavyweights at Wynn Palace in Macau. As the Official Orange Liqueur Partner of The World’s 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’s Quinary showcased the brand’s latest spirit, the Cointreau Spicy. 1 spot as The Best Bar in Asia 2026 was Guangzhou’s Hope & Sesame, marking a historic milestone as the first venue from Mainland China to claim the top spot. The best bars aren’t just defined by awards, but they are built on resilience, human connection, consistency, and a deep-rooted passion for incredible drinks.
