Singapore’s cocktail bar scene is shifting gears - SilverKris
"A theatrical, 37-seat hotel bar hidden behind an unmarked wall that requires a password to enter, pairing luxe décor — red velvet curtains, crystal chandelier and feather centrepieces — with highly experimental mixology. The head bartender employs a ‘percolated cocktail’ technique that extracts botanics and fuses them with neutral distilled alcohol to produce crystal-clear, novel takes on classics (examples include a Percolated Espresso Martini and a Bloody Mary-style drink made without tomato juice, built instead from kimchi and beans). The concept is presented as a personal homage to Italian artisanship, blending meticulous technique with a sense of theatrical fun." - Ben Chin
