A New Chapter of Drinks Begin
In conjunction with the Raffles Writer’s Residency Programme, Writers Bar presents refreshed menus that comprises creative cocktail blends, inspired by the celebrated novelists who have passed through the hotel’s doors over the years. Revel in these brand-new innovative concoctions created by Beverage Manager Nicholas Alexander, with each range paying tribute to these literary greats and their intriguing personalities.
Discover refreshing highballs inspired by Somerset Maugham; elegant twists of wine cocktails under the Rudyard Kipling section; Joseph Conrad’s showcase of bold spirits concoctions; spirit-forward cocktails in salute to André Malraux and his sharp, multifaceted personage; a colourful series of negronis, which is a nod to Pablo Neruda; smooth and polished post-dinner cocktails as a toast to Noël Coward’s poised and witty disposition, as well as low-sugar and equally delectable blends of spirits from all over the world, referencing James Michener’s zest for adventure and his celebrated epic novels set in foreign lands. The menu will also feature a newly curated Reserve Classics Collection in honour of Pico Iyer, the first Writer-in-Residence of the Raffles Writer’s Residency programme. This is Writers Bar’s set of decadent offerings with premium spirits that reflects the distinguished charm of the collection’s namesake.
As part of the refreshed menu, a selection of five handcrafted cocktails, specially inspired by the latest and first-ever Singaporean Writer-in-Residence Madeleine Lee’s book of poems, ‘How to Build a Lux Hotel’, will also be available.
