A Toast to Her - for the month of May
May is a time to celebrate the women who shape our lives so we’re raising a glass to them. Throughout the month, enjoy a drink from our A Toast to Her cocktail series: a collection of beautifully crafted pink drinks, designed to honour the mothers, mentors, friends and female figures who mean the most.
Whether you’re toasting after work or gathering for something a little more special, each cocktail offers a moment to celebrate and, as always, to give back. Every drink includes a $1 donation, so you can sip with purpose.
During May, we’re proud to support Women’s Refuge, an organisation providing vital support and safe spaces for women and children experiencing family violence. Your visit helps contribute to the important work they do in our communities.

A little bit of mystery, a lot of great food. Taste of Tuawhiti is a progressive dinner across three of Auckland’s best restaurants: kingi, Café Hanoi, and Ghost Street, all tucked into Tuawhiti Lane in the Britomart neighbourhood.
Where you start is a surprise. Arrive at The Hotel Britomart Lobby Lounge, enjoy a glass of bubbles, and find out where your first course will be served. From there, you’ll move between restaurants, swapping places with other guests as you experience a curated three-course meal, with each course and wine match served in a different venue.
Expect fresh sustainably sourced produce at kingi, with dishes like line-caught snapper with almond sauce, smoked eel gribiche, grape. At Café Hanoi, modern Vietnamese flavours take centre stage with dishes like chargrilled lime leaf chicken thighs with charred cos, pickled courgette, green herb sauce, and crushed peanuts. And at Ghost Street, bold Beijing-inspired cooking shines in plates like the sizzling Xinjiang lamb ribs with watercress, red onion, cumin, fennel, and chilli oil
It’s a journey through some of the city’s top kitchens with wine pairings, good company, and a little spontaneity thrown in.
Taste of kingi is a four-course tasting journey featuring the chef’s selection of the best of kingi, showcasing the best seasonal produce from New Zealand’s oceans, rivers, and land. Each dish takes you through the season’s flavours, with the option to add on paired wines for a memorable dining experience.
