Chinese New Year-inspired liquids.
If there’s one thing that is most commendable about Singapore, it is its innovative abilities that have boosted the country to what it is today. A good case in point would be the iconic landmark that towers 57 stories high—Marina Bay Sands, home to the world’s largest rooftop infinity pool, several award-winning restaurants, and an array of shopping and entertainment facets. Besides these irresistible attractions, the cocktail scene is also one to explore—from rooftop lounges to fine dining restaurants with elegant and modern interiors. If you happen to find yourself heading down to Singapore this Chinese New Year, don’t miss out on these bars that offer Chinese New Year-inspired cocktails brimming with auspicious ingredients.
Check out these cocktails from the bars in Marina Bay Sands Singapore this Chinese New Year:
Mott 32
Beat the scorching Lunar New Year heat with a glass of Kowloon Coffee or Tamarind Of from Mott 32’s Cold Tea cocktail menu. Marrying tradition and contemporary, the former mix contains Woodford Rye Whisky, cream, filtered coffee and umami soy sauce. However, the latter is a digestif made with Buffalo Trace Bourbon, homemade tamarind syrup and bitters. The menu draws inspiration from the Prohibition Era during the ‘20s when alcoholic beverages were discreetly served in teapots or replaced by strong iced teas. We recommend these tipples to be enjoyed with a canape platter of your choice, whether it is the Deep-Fried Wild Mushroom Spring Roll or the Crispy Prawn with Salt and Pepper.
Available daily after 9.30pm

KOMA Singapore
Stock up on good fortune this year with KOMA Singapore’s Lucky Charm, a thoughtfully crafted cocktail specially created to welcome the Lunar New Year. The amber liquid is a medley of ingredients, including the Zacapa No. 23 Centenario, for a warm, robust depth with its aged rum profile; the Rémy Martin 1738, to contribute a velvety and elegant cognac base; and the Mikan and Kumquat, which emanates a vibrant burst of citrusy sweetness that balances the richness of the spirits.
