Mid-Autumn Festival Mixology

The Mid-Autumn Festival was a cherished occasion for Asian families to reunite at delicious feasts, share quality time, and bask in the enchanting glow of the full moon. VistaJet, the world’s first and only global private aviation company, joined Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group for a mooncake mixology experience that reimagined tradition.

Contemporary Mid-Autumn toast in the sky

VistaJet Members departing from Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, and Singapore were invited to enjoy a curated selection of artisanal mooncakes prepared in collaboration with Mandarin Oriental. These were paired with meticulously crafted cocktails and mocktails, each offering a taste of the departure cities.

• Hong Kong: A toast to urban serenity
• Torii was a unique spin on the classic Negroni, featuring sweet potato shochu for a touch of softness and the fruity aromas of lychee—mirroring the serene beauty of Hong Kong, where the tranquility of nature was just moments away from the vibrant cityscape.
• Shanghai: Autumn evenings along the Bund
• 沪 Memory paid tribute to Shanghai’s legacy, harmonizing osmanthus-infused gin with mellow yellow rice wine. Accented by vanilla syrup and a touch of lemon, it offered a layered, aromatic profile—elegant and evocative autumn evenings along the Bund.
• Beijing: Where myth meets mixology
• Palace Turet 角楼 recreated the golden silhouette of the Forbidden City’s iconic turrets at dusk through a harmony of jasmine, peach, gin, and Champagne. With each sip, the elegance of six-century-old history danced on the tastebuds.
  
• Non-alcoholic Kirin 麒麟, named after the auspicious Chinese beast, playfully captured the creature’s sophistication through layers of pineapple, mango, coconut, and lemon, delivering a refreshing kick.
• Singapore: Echoes of the Lion City
• Reclaimed Sling enhanced the city’s iconic gin-based cocktail with a smooth and flavorful profile by blending distilled gin, pomegranate, herbal liquor, and lemon.
• Mocktail Gao Lak — a Teochew term for roasted chestnuts—paid tribute to the nostalgic childhood snack and Singapore’s hawker trade. A blend of black bean vinegar, water chestnut syrup, and non-alcoholic malt created a rich profile of Southeast Asian flavors.

*This experience was available to VistaJet Members departing from Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, and Singapore from September 22nd to October 7th 2025.
