[Sponsored] Whether you’re an aficionado of block parties, pool parties, boozy brunches or old fashioned sessions at your local, there’s never been a better time for daytime drinking in Singapore. There is, however, one particular weekend afternoon pursuit that you might not have experienced yet—a garden party. Here’s how you can throw one.

The garden party dress code is simple—airy, comfortable and summery. To make sure your wardrobe is ready, check out the latest collections from Lula Rock, Dorothy Perkins, Ong Shunmugam and Lovers and Friends. You’ll also need a hat, of course, and Heads of State is just the millinery for the occasion.

Now that you’ve got your threads, you need to find your garden. Set a course for Dempsey Hill and the lush surrounds of The Rabbit Hole. The sprawling, whimsical garden at The Rabbit Hole brings Alice in Wonderland to mind with its rustic swings, quirky ornaments and wooden benches.

Some might go for bubbly and others will go for beer, but the quintessential garden party drink is a refreshing yet sophisticated gin and tonic. The Rabbit Hole is one of the best places in Singapore to get acquainted with artisanal gins and the selection here is structured according to five styles—Traditional London Dry, Simple & Honest, Floral & Elegant, Complex & Unexpected and The New Classics. Highlights include the French grape-based gin G’Vine, the timeless English favorite Plymouth and speakeasy staple Monkey 47 from the Black Forest in Germany. The Rabbit Hole’s endlessly Instagrammable G&Ts are crafted with your gin of choice, premium tonics—including one made in-house—and botanicals harvested fresh from the garden.

When it comes to garden party bites, you don’t want anything too complicated, messy or filling—light, produce-driven dishes are perfect. Take your pick from The Rabbit Hole’s refined bar snacks menu which features Gillardeau oysters, artisanal cheeses and a classic charcuterie range.
