Smoke & Mirrors menu injects new flavours into classics
By Owen BellwoodSingapore rooftop bar Smoke & Mirrors has combined classic cocktails with unusual flavours for its latest menu, called Married Pony.
The new menu at Smoke & Mirrors features the Cardamom & Espresso MartiniThe Married Pony menu will sit alongside the bar’s Illusion of Flavours drinks list and will offer eight cocktails served in “pony” glasses, a term that refers to a small stemmed glass that can hold 142ml rather than the traditional 220ml cocktail size.
Each priced at S$18 (US$13), the eight cocktails on the menu combine classic serves such as the Negroni, Espresso Martini and Rob Roy with flavours including cardamom, cacao and bergamot.
Visitors to Smoke & Mirrors will now be able to sample the “well-balanced” Turmeric & Spritzer, which is made with Select Venezian Aperitivo, sparkling wine and turmeric, and the Cacao & Negroni, which blends together shiraz barrel-aged gin, Campari, Cocchi di Torino and cacao.
The Singapore bar will also serve up the Bergamot & Gimlet, made with Gin Mare, Italicus Rosolio Di Bergamotto and citrus, and the Cardamom & Espresso Martini, made with Old Young’s sugar cane vodka, Mr Black Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur and cardamom distillate.
Developed by head bartender Jorge Conde, the Smoke & Mirrors Married Pony menu launched on 2 March.
