Drink Kong Lands in NYC for One Night Only at Aqua Spirit

Rome’s Acclaimed Cocktail Bar Brings Its Visionary Mixology to New York

For one night only, Drink Kong – renowned for its sleek, neon-lit vibe and innovative cocktails – is traveling from Rome to The City That Never Sleeps! Ranked among the World’s 50 Best, the bar will kick off Aqua New York’s guest shift series, showcasing its signature blend of Italian craftsmanship and Japanese-inspired minimalism to an exclusive crowd of cocktail connoisseurs. This special event marks another exciting chapter for Aqua New York, which made its highly anticipated debut in the Flatiron District in early November of last year.

Leading the charge behind the bar is expert mixologist Davide Diaferia, serving up Drink Kong’s most celebrated and visually striking cocktails throughout the night. It’s a rare opportunity to experience one of Europe’s most inventive cocktail destinations—without the international flight.

A Collaboration That’s Raising the Bar

In partnership with Weber Ranch Vodka, Drink Kong and Aqua Spirit will introduce a limited-edition cocktail: Aqua Kong Reverb. Making its debut that evening, the cocktail will remain on Aqua Spirit’s menu beyond the event, offering guests a lasting taste of the collaboration. In addition to this exclusive creation, Drink Kong will be serving four of its most renowned cocktails:

  • Canova: A masterful balance of delicate flavors and bold character.

  • Codex: An intricate, layered cocktail with a story in every sip.

  • Prisma: Vibrant, refreshing, and as dynamic as its name suggests.

  • Gaijin: A fusion of East and West, embodying Drink Kong’s signature approach to mixology.
