Hong Kong’s beloved handmade honey mead brand Sunshine Night Mist is turning five—and it’s throwing a party that fuses its signature craft brews with a full night of classic Cantonese pop anthems. Scheduled for July 4, 2026, from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the rooftop garden of T.O.P This is Our Place in Mong Kok, the “5th Anniversary Celebration” promises an immersive evening of retro Hong Kong vibes, live DJ sets spinning beloved Cantopop hits, and 12 different meads on tap.
A Sip of Nostalgia: The Anniversary Limited-Edition Lineup
To mark the milestone, Sunshine Night Mist has curated a “Five-Star Selection” of its most popular honey mead flavors, each designed to evoke a taste of local culture and childhood memories. The lineup includes:
- Guava Honey Mead – Fermented to capture the intense sweetness of ripe guava, it delivers a burst of summer fruitiness.
- Lemon Tea Honey Mead – A faithful tribute to the classic Hong Kong-style iced lemon tea, complete with a tangy, refreshing finish that cuts through richness.
- Pineapple Ice Honey Mead – Dubbed the “grown-up version of cha chaan teng pineapple ice,” this playful blend pairs adult indulgence with a beloved childhood drink.
- Green Tea Honey Mead – Balancing honey’s sweetness with tea’s astringency, the brand’s founder likens it to “smiling through life’s bittersweet moments, waiting for the aftertaste of joy.”
- Red Grape Honey Mead – Made with dried red grapes, this variety boasts a plum-wine richness and a smooth, sweet profile perfect for dessert-lovers.
Each offering reflects the brand’s philosophy of reimagining familiar Hong Kong flavors through the art of mead-making.
A Party That Brings Back Collective Memories
Beyond the drinks, the anniversary event is designed as a full sensory journey. A live DJ will spin Cantopok classics from the 1980s through the early 2000s, tapping into the current cultural wave that has revived interest in the genre. “Cantopop and Y2K aesthetics are huge right now,” notes a spokesperson for Sunshine Night Mist. “We wanted to create a space where people can reconnect with the songs and tastes of old Hong Kong in a modern, social setting.”
The rooftop venue will also feature freshly carved Hong Kong-style roasted meats and traditional street snacks, making the evening a full-blown gastronomic and musical celebration.
