G I F T E D There’s no need to stay dry during this #StayHome period when Singapore’s top bars have hustled to come up with ingenious ways to get their liquid concoctions to us (and goodness knows we need it more than ever!). A fine example is @NativeBarSg, ranked no. 12 on #Worlds50bestbars. I got to try their new range of bottled cocktails when co-owner @vijaymgp dropped them off at my home two nights ago. After opening the first of their four cocktails, the “Hibiscus” to be specific, you can colour me impressed. I loved its refreshing and none-too-sweet blend of hawthorn distillate, hibiscus jus and kithul palm syrup coupled with the buzz from the high alcohol kick (approximately 23% to 25%). I am now more excited than ever to slowly savour the other three: - The “Foragers’ Garden” - Composed of housemade matcha, bluepea flowers, calamansi and matcha kombucha, this also has an alcohol content of about 23% to 25%. - The “Peranakan” - A jackfruit rum, laksa leaves, goat’s milk, candlenut and gula melaka blend that is stronger at 30% alcohol level. - The “Pineapple Arrack” - An even more potent creation with Ceylon arrack, old coconuts, pineapple skin and Sri Lankan spices, estimated to hit the 33% to 35% mark in alcohol. Their bottled cocktails are extremely easy to enjoy as they only need to be stuck in the fridge to chill (shelf life is 6 months but frankly, I am sure to be done with them much quicker) and then poured over ice. One bottle is good for between 6 and 8 portions, which makes it good value and more importantly, very-pleasurable-bang-for-your-buck if you ask me. To order, just DM @NativeBarSg. #veronicaphuadrinks #NativeBar #NativeBarSg #loveyourlocalsg #supportlocalsg #asias50bestbar #worlds50best #burppletastemaker #burpproved #burpple #burpplesg #cocktailsg #barsg #igdrink #instabar #instacocktail #tastespotting #deliverysg #takeawaysg #drinkstagram #drinkporn #singapore

🇸🇬 At the end of Amoy Street behind an almost unnoticeable door, Native is a specialized drinking spot that prides itself for serving creative cocktails with ingredients within 40km of its location. Ranked currently as one of the top 10 bars in Asia, the menu here is one with a list of exotic names and almost unheard of ingredients. We tasted the Pineapple Arrack which is a mixture of Ceylon Arrack, Sri Lankan spices with burnt local pineapple skin, which was sweet and complex flavored, while the Oyster from Ubin tasted of distilled oyster juices, savory like an amuse bouche at a restaurant. The experience was all bookended by a welcoming sparkling sake and a farewell drink. Matched with attentive service and mixologists who thoroughly explain the inspiration behind each drink, Native is the telling of one compelling local Singaporean story.
