Contemporary Mid-Autumn toast in the sky
VistaJet Members departing from Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing and Singapore are invited to enjoy a curation of artisanal mooncakes prepared in collaboration with Mandarin Oriental, married with meticulously crafted cocktails and mocktails, each offering a taste of the departure cities:
- Hong Kong: A toast to urban serenity
- Torii is a unique spin on the classic Negroni that features 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 is just moments away from the vibrant cityscape.
- Shanghai: Autumn evenings along the Bund
- 沪 Memory plays tribute to Shanghai’s legacy and harmonizes osmanthus-infused gin with mellow yellow rice wine. Accented by vanilla syrup and a touch of lemon, it boasts a layered, aromatic profile, elegant, and evocative of autumn evenings along the Bund.
- Beijing: Where myth meets mixology
- Palace Turet 角楼 recreates 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 dances on the tastebuds.
- Non-alcoholic Kirin 麒麟, named after the auspicious Chinese beast, playfully captures the creature’s sophistication through layers of pineapple, mango, coconut and lemon for a refreshing kick in the air.
- Singapore: Echoes of the Lion City
- Reclaimed Sling enhances the city’s iconic gin-based cocktail with a smooth and flavorful sip by adding distilled gin, pomegranate, herbal liquor and lemon.
- Mocktail Gao Lak — Teochew term for roasted chestnuts — pays tribute to the nostalgic childhood snack and Singapore’s hawker trade. A blend of black bean vinegar, water chestnut syrup, and non-alcoholic malt create a rich profile of Southeast Asian flavors.
Beyond contemporary cocktails, Members may also experience a selection of fine wines through VistaJet’s Wine in the Sky program — the perfect glass paired with in-flight gastronomy.
