Beyond a neon sign that flickers ‘Psychic’, you’ll find a bar that takes you back to the Prohibition days of the US. The local off-shoot of the New York cocktail institution makes its Old Fashioneds the traditional way (recipe below) with rye, sugar syrup and bitters ‘cos you don’t need to fix something that isn’t broke.
Few cocktails are classier than an Old Fashioned. Made by muddling sugar with bitters before whisky or brandy is added, this tipple is a symbol of luxury. It hit the big time in the 19th century and today there’s a huge array of different takes on the cocktail across the world. And we’ve got plenty of options in Singapore too. These three cocktail bars knock up an Old Fashioned like it’s going out of, well, fashion.
