Ozone Bar Manager, Oscar Mena<br />

showing off his cocktail skills<br />

Cocktail lovers can rejoice<br />

as Ozone Bar Manager<br />

Oscar Mena of Ritz<br />

Carlton Hong Kong<br />

recently debuted his Five<br />

Elements Cocktail Menu<br />

amongst other time-honoured cocktails<br />

already on offer.<br />

“I have always been fascinated by<br />

how each element has its own place in this<br />

world, while interacting and complementing<br />

each other,” says Oscar, the Mexican-born<br />

mixology maestro. His five new creations are<br />

named after the five most essential elements<br />

of life – Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth.<br />

Each of them resembles the essence, colour<br />

or even flavour of its represented element.<br />

Water, for example, is decorated with<br />

pearl-like yogurt bubbles in an oyster shell.<br />

You will not only be reminded of the ocean<br />

visually by its eye-catching blue hue, but also<br />

by its savoury hint of umami bitters. Coconut<br />

water is added to this vodka and sake-based<br />

cocktail to strike a balance.<br />
