The inaugural Singapore Cocktail Takeover 2024 is happening from 1 to 12 May, with 30 top bars serving special cocktails.
The inaugural celebration spans independent cocktail bars, established drinking spots, and hotel bars, which will offer two cocktails made for the 12-day celebration and priced at S$18++ (est. THB 500) each.
The event will also feature a range of programmes to showcase the city’s diverse cocktail scene and guest shifts by famous bartenders from around the world.
Several local entries from the current Asia’s 50 Best Bars list are part of the Singapore Cocktail Takeover 2024, including Jigger & Pony, Nutmeg & Clove, and The Elephant Room. They join hotel bars like Plume, Origin, Republic, and MO Bar, as well as cocktail taproom Draft Land, modern Cantonese establishment Madame Fan, and Barbary Coast.
Each of the bars has created two cocktails for the campaign. Among them is Writers Bar, which has come up with Tiny Grass is Dreaming, a verdant drink with yuzu liqueur, miso, sencha, and matcha. Stay Gold Flamingo has Affo-Revolver with bourbon and coffee ice cream, while Jungle Ballroom has a tequila, osmanthus, and seaweed tipple called Converse High.
All creations are priced at S$18++ each throughout the campaign.
Besides special cocktails, the campaign will host events such as guest shifts at participating venues. Taiwanese bars Moonrock, Slow Down, Bar Dip, and Voiceover will be taking over Nutmeg & Clove, and Tokyo’s Bellwood is popping up at Jigger & Pony. Republic will also serve a punch brunch on 11 May.
The Singapore Cocktail Takeover 2024 comes after the long-running Singapore Cocktail Festival announced last month that it was not taking place this year. For information on participating bars, cocktails, and events, visit their website.
