The ninth edition of the much-awaited drinks festival, which runs from May 5 to 21, has an exciting line-up of bar crawls, cocktail brunches and city takeovers
Cocktail lovers, listen up. The Singapore Cocktail Festival is making its triumphant return to a full in-person lineup from May 5 to 21. For its ninth edition, the organisers have come up with the theme, Shaking Up New Possibilities, which aptly describes the drinks industry’s spirit of revolutionary innovation.
“We believe that the spotlight will be on us in Asia, as the capital of inspiration for cocktail innovation going forward,” declared Singapore Cocktail Festival co-founder Ivy Woo. With the theme this year, Woo hoped to “inspire our community here to set the path forward not just for Asia, but for the cocktail industry at large”. That said, the Singapore Cocktail Festival is a great platform for the “next decade of cocktail evolution”.
