Dutch boutique hotel chain citizenM (世民酒店) at Taipei North Gate celebrates its third year in Taiwan, consistently delivering fun and surprising experiences with a trendy mindset for the mobile citizen. This year-end, citizenM combines the wildly popular camp aesthetic from the fashion world to host a New Year’s Eve party, inviting the public to join in and unleash their inner quirkiness.
It will also introduce a brand-new drink menu in 2020, playing with basic cocktail formulas using unexpected ingredients to break conventions and surprise your taste buds. Located on the second floor of citizenM, canteenM bar is open 24 hours a day, offering a variety of creative cocktails. With a “back to basics” creative concept, it utilizes many local natural ingredients from Taiwan, aiming to integrate cocktails into everyday life.
After nearly a year of research and development, several distinctive infused base spirits have been crafted, and a range of dried fruits used in cocktails (such as bananas, apples, kiwis, tomatoes, etc.) are treated with low-temperature roasting to lock in their original flavors. These are then recombined with spirits to unlock endless possibilities. The 2020 new drink menu features 11 new cocktails, mainly developed under two series: citizen unique (奇赏系列) and citizen twist (特调系列).
