Royal Salute Scotch Whisky and Martell Cognac teamed up to host a Lunar New Year Celebration including a cocktail hour and intimate dinner paired with rare and limited-edition offerings from both brands to ring in the Year of the Dragon. Guests were ushered into House of the Red Pearl, a hidden gem tucked behind a red curtain on the second floor of Tin Building by Jean-Georges located in the Seaport District of Manhattan.

VIP guests Dorothy Wang & Nam Laks from Netflix’s hit series Bling Empire, along with model & socialite Jessica Wang sipped on specialty cocktails, jotted down their wishes for the new year to hang on a traditional Wishing Tree, and enjoyed Mahjong – a Chinese game typically played during Lunar New Year.
