Tanuki Raw
This bar delivers a simple, classic rendition of the oyster shooter—the drink consists of a raw oyster and vodka, topped with cocktail sauce for that added zing. $10

Oyster Bar
Shooters come in five flavors here, which is good news for people who don’t particularly like oysters. Our favorites are Bloody Mary and the Limoncello Balsamico—though if you want one with kick, go for the turmeric and chilli padi-enhanced Infernal Kiss.

Hooters
Tiger beer is used instead of the usual vodka, giving the Hooters Shooter a local twist. It’s served with the customary oyster, lemon wedge, cocktail sauce and Tabasco sauce, as well as a pinch of horseradish that packs a mighty punch. $6.90

Amaro Smash
Comprising smashed pineapple and amaro montenegro served up in a big glass with lots of crushed ice, this modern cocktail is a great palate cleanser.
$14 at Sopra Cucina.

Ca Phe Sua Da #2
Mikel Mulraney, Mixologist at Ding Dong says, “Bitters and amaro add depth of flavor and bring all the ingredients in a drink together.” He uses Vietnamese coffee, VSOP cognac, amaro and agave nectar in this potent bittersweet digestif.
$21 at Ding Dong

Nin Jiom Old Fashioned
Adrian Ling, founder of Pidgin Kitchen & Bar says, “Fernet branca and angostura bitters impart a refreshing mix of herbal and botanical nuances to this unique spin on the Old Fashioned,” giving it a fresh new twist.
$20 at Pidgin Kitchen

Topless In Church
Of this drink comprising Speyside single malt, sugar, orange zest and Mozart dark chocolate bitters, Zachariah Elias, the bartender at Suprette says, “The bitters strongly invoke the aroma and nuances of cocoa, free from the cloying sweetness of chocolate liqueurs.”
$20 at Suprette

Casse-Noisette
A harmonious mix of strong hot coffee, creamy baileys, sweet hazelnut liquor and fluffy whipped cream, this warming beverage’s a great nightcap.
$14 at Café & Bar Gavroche

Le Cafe Cocktail
Spiked with Courvoisier VS cognac and port, this nondescript-looking cupful is surprisingly potent. Though it doesn't actually contain any coffee and is served chilled, it also boasts a layer of “crema” created with frothy egg yolk. The little squares of cognac and grand marnier jelly served alongside provide an extra boozy hit.
$16 at Fordham & Grand

The Melbournite
Sip this coffee-based tipple either warm (a hot Melbournite) or iced (a cold Melbournite). Both options comprise a shot of Black Cat Coffee Absinthe—a Spanish spirit combining aniseed flavor with a good dose of caffeine— plus espresso. It works as an after dinner digestif as well as the morning after a party: the concoction serves as both hair of the dog and your morning cuppa.
$18 at Intrepid Gastro Bar
