No travelling? No problem! The pandemic may have put a halt on our usual festive travel plans this upcoming holiday season, but it sure hasn’t dampened our holiday spirit. Or has it? Come on, don’t be a Grinch now. Here’s a list of fun-filled activities in Singapore to spice up your festivities and end the year with a BANG!
1. Host an Intimate Countdown Party
Avoid snaking queues and the mad rush to book reservations at bars or restaurants on New Year’s Eve, and host your own countdown party at the comfort of your own home. While you are at it, why not learn to concoct unique cocktails for your guests by attending a Mixology Class? You can expect to experiment and incorporate exotic Asian flavour profiles into various cocktail recipes.
Oh, did i mention that you’ll get to bring back 2 cocktail bitters?
