1. Monkey Shoulder
On an all-important mission to help labouring Singaporeans let loose, the free-spirited blended malt whisky has unleashed its eccentric Don’t Let The Grind Get You Down campaign upon the working population. If anyone can be trusted to successfully transform an endless stream of Zoom conferences into a comic affair, its Monkey Shoulder. The limited-edition Zoomtails take the all-too-common, ear-grating utterances of Zoom call phrases and twist them into parodic cocktails. Pre-mixed concoctions such as the aptly named You’re On Mute (a smooth whisky mixed with Averna, citrus, Aperol and Cointreau), are packaged in special SOS boxes, and delivered ice-cold to your door to provide much-needed relief from yet another hour-long meeting that could have been an email. Available here.
