For the last five months, Singapore’s best bartenders have stepped out from behind their home bars, with shakers in hand, flavour-packed ideas in mind, and style to spare. All in pursuit of one title: World Class Bartender of the Year Singapore. The competition has been nothing short of intense, with a trilogy of high-stakes, high-concept challenges. It all kicked off with a bold two-parter: a Don Julio 1942 tequila serve that fused Singaporean and Canadian influences, followed by a Zacapa XO challenge inspired by the idea of being 'Above the Clouds'. Next came a tribute to industry icons, with cocktails crafted using Tanqueray No. 10 – the world’s number one premium gin – and The Singleton 12, designed to bring the theme 'Sense the Moment' to life through a multi-sensory, music-driven experience. But it was the third challenge — the Johnnie Walker Blue Label round — that really stole the show. Inspired by the glamour and grandiosity of the world of art and fashion, bartenders were tasked with creating cocktails that didn’t just taste sublime but looked straight out of an art gallery or a fashion week afterparty.  From the original 42 hopefuls, only six now remain, each one raising the bar with bold stories and even bolder drinks. Get to know the finalists as they prepare to battle it out for a chance to represent Singapore at the prestigious World Class Global Finals happening in Toronto in September this year – and even a shot at the global crown.   Marco Maiorano (КОМА) a

Say bonjour to your next cultural obsession. From now until August 17, National Gallery Singapore’s transforms its third floor exhibition spaces into a vibrant time capsule with City of Others: Asian Artists in Paris, 1920s–1940s – a groundbreaking showcase that uncovers the lesser-known stories of Asian artists who lived, worked, and created in the French capital during one of the most exhilarating eras in modern art history. Think Art Deco, avant-garde ideals, and a melting pot of global influences.  While the City of Light shone as the epicentre of modernity, it was also the seat of a colonial empire, which had complex and troubling implications for artists from the colonies. This exhibition brings those tensions to light, tracing how these creatives carved space for themselves in a scene that both embraced and marginalised them.  Featuring the works and lives of visionaries like Georgette Chen and Liu Kang before they migrated to Singapore, Japan’s Foujita Tsuguharu, Vietnam’s Lê Phổ, China’s Sanyu, and more, City of Others is a powerful exploration of identity, belonging, cultural exchange, and resilience. It’s bold, eye-opening, and beautifully human – a reminder that art has always been more than just what’s on the canvas.  Here’s why this is the exhibition you won’t want to miss.

And if you’re looking for a mosh pit to dive into, we’ve got you covered too. Whether you're here to belt your lungs out to Lady Gaga, catch Jason Derulo crooning and body-rolling through his first-ever Singapore show, or dance like it’s 2005 with the Black Eyed Peas, this year’s lineup is nothing short of arena-worthy. And let’s not forget the Rocket Man himself, Elton John, who’s finally taking the F1 stage for what promises to be a night to remember.

June just got a little more curious. Building on last year’s wildly delightful run, Hendrick’s Great Cucumber Exchange is back – and it's as wonderfully whimsical as ever. In honour of World Cucumber Day on June 14, Hendrick’s Gin invites you to embrace the whimsy by trading in a humble cucumber for its gin-based tipple at over 95 participating restaurants and bars across Singapore from June 16 to 19. Because why use cash or card when you can pay with a cucumber? It’s a curiously fun twist to cocktail culture – just the way Hendrick’s Gin likes it. Why cucumbers? Hendrick’s Gin isn’t just using cucumbers for novelty. It’s quite literally in the unusual spirit. The gin’s famously smooth, floral flavour comes from a unique distillation process that infuses cucumber and rose, alongside a blend of 11 botanicals, making the inimitable green fruit more than just a garnish – it’s in Hendrick’s DNA.   Photograph: Hendrick’s Gin   What are the free Hendrick’s Gin cocktails?

Jason Derulo’s a familiar name most of us would have heard of. And despite having been around the music scene for over a decade, he’s never held a concert in our city – until now.

Bursting onto the scene with his chart-topping debut 'Whatcha Say', Derulo has turned the music world into his personal dance floor with hits like 'Talk Dirty' and the viral sensation 'Savage Love'. Known for his silky smooth vocals, 'Wiggle'-worthy choreography, and knack for crafting catchy earworms, he’s more than an artist – he’s a showman. Some of his notable awards include multiple BMI Pop Awards for hits like 'Talk Dirty' and 'Want to Want Me', reflecting his songwriting prowess. He’s also been recognised with Teen Choice Awards, reflecting his popularity with younger audiences, and has received nominations for prestigious honours such as the MTV Europe Music Awards and Billboard Music Awards.

There’s something irresistible about cocktails that flirt with local flavours – and TUX Bar & Lounge is pouring out a whole new reason to sip. Its latest lineup of signature cocktails ($28 each) is a love letter to Singapore – just in time for SG60. The Old Fashioned Nonya is a pandan-infused spin on the whisky classic. It’s like a liquid nonya kueh, with gula melaka notes lingering gently at the end of every sip, making for a pleasant aftertaste.    Photograph: TUX Bar & Lounge at Carlton Hotel Singapore   Then there’s Bandung Unplugged, which defies logic. It looks crystal clear but delivers all the milky, rose-syrupy goodness of the drink your auntie used to make – only this time with vodka. Wondering how it gets that translucent look? Here’s the inside scoop: milk-washing – a clever technique where milk is curdled and strained, leaving behind a silky, clarified drink with all the flavour and none of the cloudiness. For something spicier, the Gin-Ken Chilli Sour is a bold gin tribute to chicken rice, with garlic, chilli padi, ginger and lime. It’s punchy, complex, and definitely one for the adventurous palate. A more citrusy alternative is the Laksa Margarita, which blends tequila with laksa leaf and lemongrass for a tangy, tropical kick.   Photograph: TUX Bar & Lounge at Carlton Hotel Singapore   But if there’s one showstopper we can’t stop talking about, it’s the BTC (aka Boba Tea Cocktail). With rum, black tea, and house-made chewy pearls, it’s a playful finish to y

There’s no season quite like summer in Europe. From June to September, the continent basks in endless sunshine, where temperatures soar to a toasty 30 degrees – ideal for those who love the warmth without Singapore’s humidity. Imagine spending long, lazy days in the Mediterranean, sipping cocktails on a terrace in the French Alps, or strolling through charming cobblestone streets. With the days stretching longer, especially in the north where the sun sets as late as midnight, you’ll have more time to explore, eat, and celebrate under the golden sky. Once you experience it, you’ll understand why Europeans love summertime.   Photograph: Shutterstock   Key events that make summer in Europe unforgettable  If you’re into music, Glastonbury Festival in England and Primavera Sound in Barcelona are bucket list must-haves. For something more eclectic, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe is Europe’s largest arts festival, turning the Scottish city into a hub of comedy, theatre, and performances.  Immerse in age-old traditions with the Midsummer Festival in cities like Stockholm and Gothenburg, where locals celebrate the summer solstice with dancing, feasting, and good company. Or if you’re in Spain, the UNESCO-listed La Patum de Berga in Catalonia celebrates Corpus Christi with parades, fireworks, and giant puppets.    Photograph: Emirates Airline   Explore 40 incredible destinations in Europe with Emirates  So, how do you get there?
