Tea Meets Cocktails
The PEAK Singapore|October 2023
These watering holes are all about expressing the flavours and aroma of tea - from hojicha, oolong to matcha - through craft cocktails.
Tea Meets Cocktails

01 MIXOLOGY SALON SINGAPORE

Mixology Salon, a well-regarded bar from Tokyo’s swanky Ginza district, opened its first international outpost in June in Robertson Quay. Founder Shuzu Nagumo’s protege Kaoru Takii tends the bar.

The elegant cocktail menu focuses on fresh fruit and vegetables, fine spirits, and especially Japanese tea leaves like oolong, gyokuro, and hojicha.

Highlights include tea-focused reinventions of popular cocktails like the Japanese Tea Espresso Martini, featuring gyokuro-infused Grey Goose vodka, matcha, sencha, and vanilla syrup. There’s also a Roasted Rum Manhattan, where hojicha-infused dark rum is paired with aged cognac, vermouth rosso, and cherry. These can be enjoyed a la carte or as part of a three- to five-course cocktail tasting session.

02 CHUAN BY NUTMEG

Chuan by Nutmeg, a mod-Asian themed bar opened by the folks from Nutmeg & Clove, offers tea-focused cocktails and Sichuan-Cantonese-accented bar bites (from the adjoining Si Chuan Dou Hua Restaurant) with a view on the 60th floor of UOB Plaza.
