It's that time of the year again. With the Singapore Cocktail Festival almost upon us, it's time for you to ditch your usual martinis/margaritas/mojitos and try something new (read: not basic). The annual fest has loads to offer — including cocktail workshops, mixes by guest bartenders and parties around town — but if the thought of sipping on an unfamiliar drink puts the fear of the heavens in you, we're here to help.
Check out these four concoctions — all available at participating bars — made with ingredients that may or may not be what you're used to. Try 'em out, and if that becomes your worst mistake of 2017, your good old martinis/margaritas/mojitos will still be waiting for you at your favourite watering hole.
