Year after year, Singapore's bartenders shake and stir their way into some of the most coveted lists in the F&B scene, from Asia's 50 Best Bars and the World's 50 Best Bars. And when the new Pinnacle Guide authority was launched last year, four local bars were even named among some of the world's most prestigious cocktail institutions. Not just that, zero-proof creations are on the rise too, making sure that everyone – yes, even the sober-curious – can join in on the fun.
