Our hearts were broken when the government announced the sudden closure of entertainment venues. F&B businesses are taking a big hit right now but they’re staying afloat by implementing strict preventive measures, new operation hours, food delivery services, DIY meal-kits and takeaway cocktails. We’re doing our part to support our fave businesses and you can too – by ordering these takeaway cocktails for a party at home. Keep your eyes peeled as we’ll be updating this list!
Native Bar
Native Bar has created a new hashtag #NativeAtHome to bring us the best bar experience. The bottled cocktail line has four signature drinks including treasured classics like the Peranakan (jackfruit rum with laksa leaves, goat’s milk, candlenut and gula melaka), Pineapple Arrack (Ceylon arrack, old coconuts, pineapple skin and Sri Lankan spice) and Hibiscus (hawthorn distillate, hibiscus jun, kithul and egg white), all available in 250ml and 500ml bottles from $38. The bar also has a series of infused house gins with interesting flavours like chrysanthemum, coffee, lampot pepper, matcha, cacao husk and yuzu ($88 for 500ml). Stay updated with cool promos and offers by following the social pages.

The Secret Mermaid
Can we all agree that The Secret Mermaid has some of the most aesthetically pleasing cocktails ever? Though we can only settle for packet forms, the flavour still hits the spot. Ranging from Peated Rosemary Manhattan and Sherry Old Fashioned to Mezcal Aviation, Espresso Tonic, Applewood Negroni and Quarantini (from $20 each), all cocktails serve two. There are also sweet stay home bundles, care packages and mermaid food (massive sammies, anyone?) to make it extra special.

Jekyll & Hyde
If you were gutted about Jekyll & Hyde’s sudden closure announcement, don’t be just yet as it may be around for longer than expected. We hear the bar is hoping to move to a new location soon. In the meantime, sip on bottled cocktails – there’s the fan-favourite Mr. Bean, a mixture of vodka, tau huay and butterscotch liquor, and the tongue-in-cheek Penicillin with blended scotch, homemade honey ginger syrup, lemon juice and smoky whisky, amongst others – from the rotating cocktail menu that changes weekly.
