Raise a Toast to Singapore’s 59th Birthday at One-Ninety Bar

As the perennial summer warmth envelops the Lion City, the brilliant minds of our skilled bartenders behind One-Ninety Bar are hard at work fashioning multi-sensorial cocktails elevated with a dash of quintessential Singaporean nostalgia at Four Seasons Hotel Singapore.

As the city comes alive and local festivities are underway to celebrate the nation's 59th birthday, we invite guests to indulge in the spirit of experimentation with our iconic Singapore botanical-inspired tipples from the elusive Secret Garden menu – the Kampung Kueh. A rum-based cocktail that distinctively embodies the popular local kueh (cake) with profile flavours of coconut, pandan and jackfruit, this aromatic and creamy libation raises a toast to the kampung (village) spirit and food culture that continues to lend a significant tale in Singapore’s treasured heritage.

And, what better way to pay homage to the rich tapestry of Singapore's history than to relish in a symphony of flavours that perfectly embodies the essence of our Little Red Dot?
