Side Door

At Side Door, Kang’s riff on classic cocktails can be described as deceptively simple yet complex. Take the Easy Peasy, for instance, where London Dry Gin is layered with lime leaves, dry vermouth and Taiwanese mountain peppers. It drinks rich and redolent of citrus and lemongrass. Another hit is the Holy Moly Mary, an ode to the Bloody Mary and Moscow Mule classics, which taps into a funky tomato-infused vodka topped with sparkling ginger beer. It even sports a lively plum powder rim.

The South Korean bartender, who clinched the title of Bartenders’ Bartender at Asia's 50 Best Bars 2021, also teases a throwback of her competition-winning tipples which she adapts into her varying concoctions. Other boozy options—served by the glass or the bottle—include a modest lineup of wine, champagne and local craft beers.
