Inspired by the dazzling cocktail capitals of the world and their iconic botanic gardens, One-Ninety Bar at Four Seasons Hotel Singapore Head Bartender Sophia Kang and Beverage Manager Gabriel Carlos invite guests to sip on 12 creative concoctions that tell the story of culture, unique botanicals, famous landmarks and the iconic bar scenes in Singapore, India and Montreal.
The Secret Gardens menu is a curated collection of tipples that embody the essence of each city, transforming the stories into liquid poetry, where every shake, stir and pour reveals a chapter untold.
As a tribute to Singapore’s rich cultural heritage, guests are invited to indulge in the spirit of experimentation with its iconic botanical-inspired tipple from the menu – the Kampung Kueh. Savour this rum-based cocktail that distinctively embodies the popular local kueh (cake) with profile flavours of coconut, pandan and jackfruit. An aromatic and creamy libation that 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?
