Penicillin Hong Kong launches climate-positive cocktail in partnership with Ecospirits & Green Steps Group

Drink A Cocktail, Plant a Tree!

True to its mission for sustainability, PENICILLIN has launched a highly special cocktail entitled One Penicillin, One Tree (HK$110), described as a “climate-positive cocktail that would make Sir David Attenborough proud”. With every cocktail sold, one native Mallotus Muticus tree is planted in the endangered Kalimantan rainforest in Borneo, Indonesia. The fast-growing upper canopy tree can reach up to 42 meters in height and can live for more than 200 years. Over its lifespan in the rainforest, one Mallotus Muticus will eliminate an astounding 4,400 kg of CO2, equivalent to 8,000 single-use glass spirit bottles.

PENICILLIN’s reforestation work through the One Penicillin, One Tree cocktail initiative is launched in partnership with ecoSPIRITS and Green Steps Group, which provides verified proof of planting technology to ensure reforestation is sustainable and long-lasting. ecoSPIRITS (eS) is the world’s first closed-loop spirits technology that strives to eliminate single-use glass bottles and dramatically reduce carbon impact. Guests will be pleased to know that each PENICILLIN cocktail accompanied by the “eS” logo saves an average of 150g in CO2 emissions.

“Other than sipping on zero-waste cocktails, we wanted to go even further to help our guests feel directly connected to climate-positive changes. Our awesome partnership with ecoSPIRITS (and Green Steps Group) makes it possible for us to effect immediate environmental change with the purchase of a single cocktail.” – Agung Prabowo & Roman Ghale, co-founders of PENICILLIN Bar.
