Celebrate Smoke & Mirrors’ Fifth Anniversary With a Series of Guest Shifts Throughout November
Destination rooftop bar Smoke & Mirrors kicks off a month of celebrations for its fifth anniversary with three guest shifts over the course of November. Guests can expect creative menus of drinks from each of the award-winning personalities popping up at Smoke & Mirrors, including house favourites from the bar as well as a cocktail from each bartender specially crafted for the occasion (all cocktails priced at S$22++).
First up will be Kelvin Saquilayan, Frank Hu and Tim Rosete of Manhattan Bar on Monday, 9 November, 6 – 9 PM. The star bar team will present three cocktails from their newly launched “New York Personified” menu; the Chaplin 92 (persimmon-infused Martell VSOP Cognac, house lime cordial #3, absinthe, Peychaud Bitters and Sujeonggwa), the spirit-forward Leather Jacket (Havana Club 7 Years Rum, bourbon whiskey, Amaro Montenegro, Mancino Rosso Vermouth, Strega and bitters) and the bittersweet Kiss and Cry (Monkey 47 Dry Gin, Campari, Mandarin Napoleon, grapefruit, lemon, egg white and Perrier Jouët Champagne). Specially created for Smoke & Mirrors’ fifth birthday, the team will also present their Padang Fizz, an ode to the bar’s scenic location comprised of Altos Blanco Tequila and clarified strawberry yoghurt milk punch, topped with East Imperial Grapefruit Soda.
On Monday, 16 November Ronan Keilthy of 28 HongKong Street will be behind the bar from 6 – 9 PM, serving up two signature 28HKS drinks; the Stone Fence (Havana Club 7 Year, spiced pear, lemon, demerara and French apple cider) and the Lovers on the Sun (Olmeca Altos Blanco, strawberry, Fino Sherry and Verjuice). To celebrate the occasion, Ronan has also developed the Shore Leave with Monkey 47 Dry Gin, Dry Curacao, lime, pineapple, honey, absinthe and bitters.
The series concludes on Monday, 23 November with Bryan Bonifacio of Employees Only from 6 – 9 PM. Bryan will be recreating two Employees Only classics; the French Kiss (Clarified French Kiss Mix with EO Brut Prosecco) and the EO Paloma (Altos Tequila, grapefruit and lime topped with soda). In honour of the bar’s anniversary, guests can enjoy the Quickie in the Gallery, a tropical concoction of Havana Cub 7 Year, coconut, cantaloupe, banana oleo and chocolate bitters.
