Minus the occasional rain showers, Singapore s weather is hot and humid all year round. When the heat becomes unbearable, one of the best ways we can cool ourselves is with a cold and refreshing cocktail. While you can order drinks from your favourite bars, you can also get creative by mixing your own concoctions. Here are four recipes crafted by
The Tatler Bar s Jon Jon Bauyon to try at home.
Nikka Coffey Malt
Nikka is considered one of the legacy whisky brands in Japan and is famed for stellar offerings such as this Coffey Malt. It is legendary thanks to Irish inventor and distiller Aeneas Coffey, who changed the game from innovating column stills to increase efficiency to producing whiskies that are made from 100 per cent malted barley. This pale gold full-bodied liquid commemorates his contribution to the whisky world; it has caramel and fudge aromas as well as a creamy texture interspersed with the nuttiness of pecan and macadamia. The finale is an explosion of flavours varying from cocoa nibs and chocolate custard to cinnamon, clove and nutmeg spices.

Polyhedron, a work by Chinese artist Julie Zhu, was inspired by a polyhedral lamp that she deconstructed into a two-dimensional form. Numerous semicircles have been painstakingly hand-drawn onto the geometric form at the centre of the canvas.
The polyhedron is a metaphor for the multifaceted elements of a person’s identity both the qualities intrinsic to the individual and the characteristics shaped by our social roles and other circumstances. The 18k gold foil detailing evokes the brightness and vitality of the sun, in contrast to the ephemeral human lifespan. The metallic detail also picks up the gold finish of the bar shelves and island counter.
