Sustainability plays a massive impact in economic,environmental and social to cocktail where we ensure to avoid damages and wasting natural resources.
I’ve always find ideas on using every parts of items while making a cocktail in order to filtrate usable wastages.
Benefits of growing my own herb and flowers in the bar is to be free from plastic packaging.Its also organic and pesticide-free.
Expired beer which are ought to be disposed can be reuse to make desirable homemade syrup reduction or ingredients for cocktails.
Pineapples are my ideal fruit where it can be used from head to toes. Besides using just the flesh,the husk and leaves are useful for my cocktail making as well.
I started using metal straws for my cocktails because its eco-friendly and can be recycled an infinite amount of time.

Be it lemons, limes, grapefruits, citruses are the most used (and wasted) fruit in a bar. As sustainability becomes more and more concerning, we want to reach zero waste of materials at the best level we could. Hence, I am presenting our latest sustainable cocktail, with Hennessy V.S.O.P
We used all the different parts from a citrus, and processes them into different materials.
After juicing the citruses, the leftover fleshes are infused into citrus syrup that smells and tastes like a citrus bomb.
The citrus peels are blended, and distilled into citrus water, and made into refreshing citrus soda.
The leftover from the distillation and infusion process will be dehydrated, and used as the smoking ingredient to provide an extra citrus woody scent to the cocktail.
The cocktail is topped with a chocolate truffle that is locally sourced and processed in Pahang, Malaysia, to complement the chocolatey note of Hennessy VSOP.
Ingredients:
Hennessy V.S.O.P 45ml
Citrus Infused Syrup 10ml
Chocolate Bitter 3 drops
Distilled Citrus Peel Soda 120ml
Citrus Foam
Chocolate Truffle (Pahang Malaysia)
Monkey Business by Joshen Chew (Hyde@53)
In conjunction with this year's #hennessymyway sustainable cocktail challenge, I've decided to use bananas (and its peels!) as the key ingredient in my cocktail creation – Monkey Business.
I start out by fermenting very riped bananas, as well as its peels, for 3 days with organic brown sugar and water, to create my very own banana beer. This, along with Hennessy VSOP and a few other ingredients, brings Monkey Business to life.
On the side, the cocktail is paired with dehydrated banana blossom, seasoned to perfection, all wrapped in aromatic banana leaf.
As a bartender and an ex-patisserie chef with years of pastry experience, I am proud to say that Monkey Business is a delicious liquid pastry created with the best of both worlds – dessert and booze, with a touch of sustainability.
Ingredients Required
Hennessy V.S.O.P 45ml
3 Days Fermented Banana Beer 30ml
Dark Chocolate Liqueur 15ml
Chocolate Bitters 3 Dash
Fresh Lemon Juice 10ml
Heavy Cream 15ml
Teguk Wangi by Loo Hoong Xiang (61 Monarchy)
How does one choose between the rich and comforting flavours in a cup of coffee or tea, versus the invigorating wake-me-up from a tall glass of breakfast martini? Meet "Teguk Wangi", the South East Asian "Cham" reinterpreted into a clean yet creamy, decadent serving of a morning cocktail. Translated as "A fragrant sip", the "Teguk Wangi" is an expression of velvety caramel, vanilla flavours from the Henessy VSOP, clarified pandan milk tea, and stale coffee bean, finishing off with delicate, elegant pandan and earl-grey notes.

One of the easiest ways to become more sustainable in cocktail making is to use the fruit to its full potential. Here is my take on a zero-waste approach for this year's #HennessyMyWay.
Mangosteen, the "Queen of Fruit" is a tropical fruit with its origin from Southeast Asia with a sweet and sour taste. In addition, it has a rich, delicate texture and slightly sour flavour which complements @hennessy XO's sensationally smooth, complex but also soft tonality with a hint of cocoa and a warm fruity presence.
Ingredients:
30ml Hennessy XO
10ml Fino Sherry
2 – 3 Whole Mangosteen Pulp
Sun-dried Mangosteen Rind
Gekko’s Tonic Foam
Zest of a Lemon
Cassa(no)va Highball by Rolend Ten (Backdoor Bodega)
As a bartender, I work with many different fresh ingredients behind the bar. And the more I learn to incorporate different produce in my recipes, the more I learn to respect the ingredients I use and be thankful for the different ways they contribute to the making of my cocktails.
Inspired by Hennessy’s sustainable viticulture in its grape harvesting process, my #HennessyMyWay cocktail uses my own locally-grown cassava plants from my backyard.
Once harvested for its root, the rest of the cassava plant is usually discarded. By salvaging the plant’s leaves and stem, I aim to highlight the cassava’s versatility beyond just its roots, repurposing its stems as cocktail garnishes and its leaves as (edible) drink coasters. And just like Hennessy’s meticulous process of turning its grapes into cognac, my process of turning homegrown cassava root into a delicious soda that pairs perfectly with the fruity notes of Hennessy VSOP in a highball cocktail is not just sustainable but a rewarding one as well. My #HennessyMyWay cocktail is the Cassa(NO)va Highball — with the (NO) highlighting the no-waste making process of this cocktail.
Ingredients:
30ml @hennessy V.S.O.P
90ml Homegrown cassava soda
Cassava Soda:
500g homegrown cassava root
100g brown sugar
3pcs fresh pandan leaves
120ml fresh coconut milk
500ml water
*Homemade cassava cake is made with leftovers from cassava soda process.

My expression of Hennessy My Way sustainability challenge will be on the idea of one ingredient utilised in a variety of ways.
Focusing on grapes, I utilised every part of it by using the juice as the fruit sweetening agent, extracting the bitterness from it's seed and turning the mash into a compote for the final touch.
Ingredients:
40ml Hennessy V.S.O.P
15ml Pierre Ferrand
20ml Grape juice
10ml Honey juice
10ml Lemon juice
3 dashes Grape seed bitters
3 drops Foamee
No-Waste Nucifera by Thanesh Joel (Backdoor Bodega)
Growing up in Penang island, the coconut is a staple of our everyday life. However, once the coconut is used for its milk (santan), the rest of the coconut is most often discarded as waste.
Together with Hennessy, I'm proud to present a cocktail that not only fully utilises the whole coconut, but also displays the versatility of Hennessy VSOP by pairing its vanilla and fruity notes with the rich and exotic flavours of coconut.
Inspired by Hennessy's "grape to glass" ethos, my sustainable cocktail journey begins with the selection of the best coconuts in Penang and ends with not only a well-balanced cocktail, but also the "glass" itself — repurposed from my used coconut shell, along with a handmade coaster from my discarded coconut husks. Delivering a unique and zero-waste drinking experience that showcases a sustainable savoir-faire like no other. This is my #HennessyMyWay cocktail.
Ingredients:
45ml Hennessy V.S.O.P
30ml Fresh coconut milk
10ml Coconut pandan syrup
Pinch of salt
Shake with ice until cold
Garnish with fresh pandan leaf and sprinkle with toasted desiccated coconut
Serve in repurposed coconut shell on homemade coconut husk coaster with Hennessy coconut gelée*

30ml Hennessy V.S.O.P
60ml Coconut water
