Tokyo Confidential’s Holly Graham Takes Over Palm Court Bar at The Langham, Hong Kong

The acclaimed bartender will host an exclusive masterclass and one-night-only guest shift on 25 July, just days before Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2026.

Cocktail lovers in Hong Kong can look forward to an exceptional evening at Palm Court Bar, The Langham, Hong Kong, as Holly Graham, the creative force behind Tokyo’s acclaimed Tokyo Confidential, arrives for an exclusive masterclass and guest shift on Saturday, 25 July 2026.

The one-night-only event will bring together two of Asia’s leading female bartenders, with Graham collaborating alongside Hinata Chang, Head Mixologist at The Langham, Hong Kong, to present a specially curated menu of four original cocktails.

The Overseas Debut of “Konbini Confidential”

The Hong Kong takeover marks the first overseas presentation of Tokyo Confidential’s new menu concept, Konbini Confidential.

Inspired by Japan’s convenience-store culture, the menu explores familiar Japanese ingredients through playful, unexpected combinations, reflecting Graham’s bold and unconventional approach to modern mixology.

The evening will also provide guests with an early taste of the creativity shaping Asia’s cocktail scene, taking place just three days before the region’s hospitality community gathers for the Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2026 ceremony on 28 July.

Four Cocktails Created for One Night Only

The exclusive menu features three creations by Holly Graham, including two drinks designed to complement Palm Court Bar’s celebrated collection of more than 350 gins.

Celery Man is a grassy and refreshing combination of Yuzushu, ume, celery soda, citrus and The Langham Gin. The house gin is crafted with hand-picked botanicals including juniper berries, locally sourced raw honey, ginger lily and Chinese jasmine tea.

Always Sunny in Azabu blends Mikan Gin, Mikanshu, Yakiimo Shochu and Grand Marnier, creating a cocktail with a sweet, fruity and full-bodied character.

Caramel Corn Sidecar combines Rémy Martin VSOP, vodka, strawberry mistelle, almond caramel and lemon, delivering intense acidity with rich, toasted notes.

Completing the menu is Green Gambit, a bespoke cocktail created by Hinata Chang. The drink pairs strawberry gin and basil dry vermouth with yuzu honey, salty matcha and dark chocolate for a complex profile that is fruity, green and gently roasted.

A Leading Voice in Asia’s Bar Scene

Since opening less than two years ago, Tokyo Confidential has quickly established itself as one of the region’s most exciting cocktail destinations, ranking 70th on Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2025.

Holly Graham’s influence extends far beyond the bar itself. She is the founder of seasonal Hokkaido concepts Niseko Confidential and Tepache, author of Cocktails of Asia, and a respected spirits journalist.

She has also been recognised among the world’s most influential drinks-industry figures by Bar World 100 for six consecutive years.

For one evening, guests at Palm Court Bar will have the opportunity to experience Graham’s boundary-pushing Tokyo hospitality alongside the elegant setting and refined cocktail style of The Langham, Hong Kong.
