Instead of waiting for its signature events like City Takeover and Festival Village only happening later this year, especially during the great uncertainty of the 'new normal', join this annual cocktail commemoration where everyone is—online. Singapore Cocktail Festival allows you to enjoy from the comfort of your home by inviting over 20 bars to present their takeout take on the words “Unity” and “Positivity” (things we could all use right now). So from Asia's 50 Best Bars #1 Jigger & Pony to fan favourite The Old Man, here are some of the special edition drinks available for takeaway and delivery.
[email protected] happens until 31 May.
