Grand Mercure Hanoi - Upscale hotels & resorts

Every nation has its own way of honoring history. For Vietnam, April 30th – the Liberation of Southern Vietnam and National Reunification Day – is more than a milestone; it is a heroic symphony passed down through generations. This year, at Vivu Sky Bar, that spirit comes alive through the art of mixology in the form of the “Độc Lập” cocktail collection – where modern flavors meet the depth of national pride and cultural heritage.

Độc Lập Cocktail – The Strength of Freedom

Crafted with gin, cointreau, grenadine, beetroot, and a striking curacao foam, this cocktail reflects the boldness and resilience of a nation that never bowed down. The vibrant red hue evokes the national flag, while its complex taste stands as a salute to liberty.

Thống Nhất Cocktail – The Sweetness of Reunion

Blending local Monsoon rum, Malibu, lime, strawberry, and a grenadine foam, this drink captures the harmonious spirit of a united Vietnam – North, Central, and South – finally coming together as one. A celebration in every sip.

Hòa Bình Milk Tea – Peace in Delicate Sweetness

A non-alcoholic option, this jasmine-strawberry cream milk tea offers a moment of tranquility amid celebration. It’s a gentle reminder that peace often begins in the simplest, most heartfelt ways.

Hạnh Phúc Tea – Fresh and Full of Hope

A refreshing fusion of jasmine tea and pomegranate-peach notes, this tea is a tribute to happiness and renewal – a drink that whispers: after hardship, joy always finds its way back.

At Vivu Sky Bar – atop Grand Mercure Hanoi, where the city lights stretch far and wide and the echoes of history still linger in the wind, each cocktail invites you on a sensory journey: to feel the spirit of a nation, to remember the sacrifices, and to take pride in being Vietnamese.

Available from 25 April to 5 May at Vivu Sky Bar, Grand Mercure Hanoi.
