"Niccolo Journey" Returns with an Exquisite New Cocktail Lineup

Niccolo Chengdu

Dining, 27 February 2025
Chengdu, China, 1 March, 2025 – Tracing the footsteps of Western explorers, Niccolo Chengdu unveils the upgraded "Niccolo Journey" cocktail collection, following its debut in 2024. Inspired by the adventurous spirit of Niccolò Polo, father of Marco Polo, and the legendary Silk Road, Head Mixologist Colin Gong crafts a selection of eight new cocktails, each representing a destination along this historic route. Guests can embark on this sensory journey right here at The Bar, immersing themselves in captivating stories of faraway lands.

Each of the eight newly curated cocktails captures the essence of these storied destinations:

「Italy」 is served in an artistic Italian glass, its flavours reminiscent of a Margherita pizza—bold aromas of tomato and basil fill the air. The layered taste lingers like moonlight shimmering on Venice’s canals, setting the scene for a passionate night in the romantic city.



「Turkey」 features gin as its base, enriched with caramel cocoa and coffee liqueur for an irresistible allure. The rich interplay of cocoa and nutty notes evokes the mysterious charm of a land straddling Europe and Asia.

「Persia」 is crafted with Iran’s renowned Persian yoghurt, presented in a traditional Persian jug and goblet. A harmonious blend of blueberry, yoghurt and spirits creates a velvety texture and intense fruitiness that lingers long after each sip.



「India」 bursts with vibrant flavours—a medley of sweet, sour and exotic spices. Each sip is full-bodied and bold, akin to an Indian dancer twirling gracefully under the starry night sky.

「Dunhuang」 combines silky apricot liqueur with bold tequila for a striking fusion. Paired with dried apricot, it transports guests to the Mogao Caves, immersing them in ancient murals depicting ribbon dance performances.  

「Beijing」 features the red hue of the Forbidden City, embodying centuries of Chinese history. A robust base spirit blends seamlessly with pineapple and hibiscus for a lively flavour profile—much like stepping into the grandeur of China’s imperial past.  

「Xinjiang」 is created with a crystal-clear base derived from the region’s famed “100-day grapes”, which flourish under ideal growing conditions. Its body holds a delightful balance of sweetness and tartness, evoking the image of a dancing princess from Western China.  



「Quanzhou」 carries the weight of centuries-old city walls within its flavours. The deep aroma of Tieguanyin tea unfolds on the palate, offering a rich experience akin to an Elder recounting tales of travellers who once rested in this historic maritime hub.

Starting 19 February, 2025, NY Duo from Cuba will bring Havana’s vibrant Latin rhythms to life at Niccolo Chengdu. Dressed in traditional Cuban attire, they will shake maracas and play conga drums, setting the scene for "Havana Nights." Guests can enjoy a buy-one-get-one-free offer on rum-based cocktails whilst immersing themselves in Cuba’s lively beats—an escape into an intoxicating night of rhythm and joy.
