The liquid luxury of the Forbidden City

Attila Balint is showing his romantic side this summer. Not only is he newly married, but he's found a way to express his enchantment with the Forbidden City, one of his favorite places in Beijing.

"I first came to Asia in 2010, on a trip to Japan. Asia is so different - I just fell in love with it," he says.

He has since found his way to Hong Kong, to Taipei and now to China's capital, where he runs the bar Atmosphere, on the 80th floor of the China World Summit Wing. The Hungarian mixologist and his team have crafted eight cocktails and four "mocktails" for a pop-up menu inspired by the former imperial palace and the area's rich history.
