Lodged within the bowels of a Hong Kong wet market (a place to buy everything from live poultry to vegetables), 001 is one of Hong Kong’s more recent avant-garde bars defying the city’s stereotypical vertical opulence. Sky Huo, one of 001’s bartenders, can be found behind the market and through a nondescript black door making her signature cocktail, the Nightmarcher. A riff on the Last Word combining Chinese mangosteen fruit, tequila, mezcal, yellow Chartreuse and celery bitters, it’s garnished with a piece of frozen smoked mangosteen served on a pineapple leaf.
