Anti:dote

Review

What to imbibe: Corpse Reviver #2, Brown Derby, Rapaccini’s Daughter

Far from the typical cookie-cutter hotel bar, Anti:dote, as the name suggests, is dedicated to serving the earth’s best remedies and potions in the form of a progressive selection of non-conventional concoctions cleverly disguised as “cure-alls”. Blending classic craftsmanship with modern flair, the finest premium spirits with market-fresh produce, as well as house-made aromatic bitters, liqueurs, and flavoured sodas—all of the magical concoctions listed were put together by head craftsman Bannie Kang. The Busan native welcomes guests to see the world through her lens by introducing them to inspirations drawn from her roots and incorporating raditional Korean ingredients such as white kimchi, plum liqueur and ginseng into her cocktails. An exceptional and innovative bartender in a male-dominated industry, Kang has a knack for experimentation and strives to present a marriage of Western and Asian influences in her creations.

“Excellent cocktails from a well-trained bar team.” — Weiwen
