Nestled within Wynn Palace, Wing Lei Bar has become a crossroads where East meets West and where cocktail culture is defined not by geography, but by dialogue. Having recently played host to the Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2025 awards, complete with international guest shifts and visiting icons, the bar has emerged as both a showcase of Wynn’s luxury hospitality and a platform for global mixology, where the world’s leading bartenders and ideas converge.
It is against this backdrop that Wing Lei Bar introduces its latest menu titled “UNITY” on September 18. Curated by Head Mixologist Mark Lloyd, the collection is the distillation of the past year of travel, guest shifts, and cultural encounters, weaving together influences from Mexico to Milan, Singapore to Seoul.
Each cocktail embodies a connection: a memory of a night behind a different bar, a friendship forged across borders, a flavor discovered in a new city. Together, they create a passport through taste, inviting guests to immerse in Mark’s personal accounts with each of these award-winning bars while seated in the heart of Wynn Palace.
The menu unfolds in four chapters—Classics, Sours, Alternatini, and Stirred—each tracing an everlasting style of cocktail but also a thread of cultural exchange. From timeless recipes reframed with unexpected hyperlocal twists, to riffs born in late-night conversations across continents, UNITY is both a bar program and a global dialogue.
Since its debut, Wing Lei Bar has been celebrated for marrying Wynn’s spirit of refinement with a bold approach to storytelling in drinks. With UNITY, the bar reaffirms its role not only as a destination for world-class cocktails, but as a participant in shaping the future of cocktail culture worldwide.
The Classics section opens UNITY with drinks that bridge timeless forms and contemporary encounters. Each recipe is both homage and reinvention, rooted in friendships and guest shifts that have shaped Wing Lei Bar’s identity.
“The classics are where conversations begin,” says Lloyd. “But what excites me is how they change when seen through another culture’s lens. That’s where the spark of UNITY really lives.”
MDT’s favourite is Tommy’s Holiday, Not Quite a Penicillin, and Peanut Pistol. Tommy’s Holiday is both homage and evolution: a tribute to Julio Bermejo’s iconic Tommy’s Margarita, created in dialogue with Bermejo himself during a dream-come-true guest shift at Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2025. Each month, the cocktail takes on a new identity, shaped by flavors of a different region, becoming an endlessly traveling margarita that never stands still. IS
