This season, Argo is launching Argo Forestry, a new menu inspired by agroforestry, the integration of plants and trees into farming systems for mutual benefits. Featuring six key ingredients indigenous to Hong Kong, the menu offers unexpected pairings, with each ingredient interpreted in two contrasting cocktails—one that is familiar and another that challenges expectations. Among the concoctions is the Igneous Gibson with granite-infused Grey Goose, Argo's botanical spirit, and charred pickle vermouth; Thief, a blend of Havana Club 7 rum with melon, hazelnut, goat yoghurt and Ratafia Rossi; and Perennial Treat, a Bacardi 8, strawberry jam, cocoa juice, absinthe, lemon gelato, and hojicha sparkling tea cocktail.
