<a href="https://www.republicbar.com.sg/?DestinAsian">Republic</a>, the cozy ground floor bar at <a href="https://destinasian.com/singapore-hotels-the-ritz-carlton-millenia-singapore">The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore</a>, seats patrons around a sumptuous U-shaped island counter, complete with low lighting and miniature lamps set over gleaming copper trays—just right for taking the Insta-perfect shot. The vibe is warm and inviting, while the menu nods to the 1960s, a time when the newly independent Republic of Singapore was just coming into its own. Choose from <a href="https://www.republicbar.com.sg/?DestinAsian">Republic’s</a> wide range of cocktails inspired by that era’s global icons or settle on a classic, all expertly prepared. The Greatest: a blend of Michter’s Bourbon whiskey, Campari, coffee vermouth, and honey, all crowned with a chocolate butterfly, certainly packs a punch as an homage to the legendary boxer Muhammad Ali. In sweeter fashion, the Twiggy combines Grey Goose vodka, chocolate coffee cream liqueur, Earl Grey tea, and Mr Black coffee liqueur with espresso and simple syrup in a black-and-white cocktail that epitomizes the fair English model known for her dramatic black eyeliner. The team here is inventive and engaging. Young bartender Jung Gyu Lee has just won the Singapore leg of the 2025 APEC Marriott International Sustainable Rising Stars competition with his creative drinks and compelling storytelling; his next stop is Bangkok for the regional finals in September. —Alison Marshall
