Smoke & Mirrors

City Hall/ Bras Basah

Smoke & Mirrors is known for its spectacular panoramic views of Singapore’s skyline and a progressive cocktail programme

 

Perched atop National Gallery Singapore, Smoke & Mirrors has one of the most scenic views of the CBD. It also has an enticing cocktail menu on offer, thanks to assistant bar manager Mel John Chavez, bar supervisor Eduardo Zamora, and senior bartender Wong Wee Siong. Their offerings make up The Real Art of Drinking Volume II menu, an expanded version of their Volume I menu where famous artworks and paintings in the museum are reimagined as sumptuous drinks. The menu is divided into eight categories—each one is guided by principles of art such as movement, contrast and proportion. Man From Manila was inspired by Filipino painter Fabian de la Rosa’s Portrait of Jose Rizal and is a lip-smacking combination of Michter’s bourbon, yam liqueuer and jackfruit.

“Inspiration really comes from everywhere, and it is amazing how the bartenders can take the different elements of art and transform them into delectable sips.”—Dudi Aureus
