Titillate your taste buds with four of the best martini deals in Singapore, shaken or stirred. 

Amuse 

Available Tuesday 6-10pm

Helmed by Austrian mixologist Klaus Leopold, Amuse has concoctions that are both delicious and inspired. Swing by on Tuesday nights, 6-10pm, for their “My Boyfriend Is Out of Town” martini nights. Don’t worry, guys get to enjoy the drinks as well. Expect monthly rotating drinks such as the refreshing spiced apple martini and elderflower martini going for $10++ each. 

Morton’s The Steakhouse

Available Monday-Saturday 5-7pm

This prime steak joint’s MORtini nights are immensely popular so come early. The signature classic martini comes with house blue cheese-stuffed olives in gin or vodka, and the chocolate mortini has melted chocolate swirled into the creamy drink. There’re also the Cosmopolitan, appletini and lycheetini; each will set you back $12.95++. The highlight, however, is the free-flow medium rare filet mignon sandwiches served butler-style which makes this martini deal as good as it gets.

No.5 Emerald Hill Cocktail Bar

Available daily 9pm-1am

The good folks at this iconic, relaxed bar actually ring a bell to announce the start of their daily martini promotion. Get two martinis for $16 (usually $14 each) every night—and there are a lot to choose from. We like their lychee and specialty Choya martinis as well as the fiery Bangkok martini, made with their chilli vodka brew.

Speakeasy

Available Wednesday 5:30pm-midnight

What’s more apropos than drinking martinis at a 1920s Prohibition era-styled bar? Pounding their $5 martinis—dirty, watermelon and grapefruit varieties as well as other specials—all night long like they’re going out of style. This martini night is only for the ladies getting midweek drinks however. Guys get to enjoy the eye candy.

Get caffeinated at these Singapore bars.

2 Months Off

We’re suckers for this gem of a cocktail, made with strongly steeped English Breakfast tea. It’s tempered with agave syrup and tangy lemon juice, uplifted with fresh mint, and spiked with Havana white rum over lots of ice. Translation: a fine drink that’s an irresistible combination of sweet and sour, with a pleasant tea aftertaste for balance.
$14 from Broadcast HQ.

Festivi-Tea

Their Tea Cup Cocktail Collection presents several concoctions, but there’s something about sipping on this chilled T2 black tea-infused drink that makes us feel like Christmas has come early. It might have something to do with the delightful notes of berries, cinnamon and cloves, plus Canadian Club whisky for kick.
$15 per teacup, or $45 per pot (fills four teacups) from Speakeasy.

Eastern Spice

A spicy little number that calls on the powers of Bombay Sapphire East, chili umeshu and chili padi. But the not-sosecret weapon is the signature KU DÉ TA tea—a floral oolong enhanced with ginger, peaches and even pink peppercorns—specially blended by local tea company Gryphon, that really gives it its edge.
$20 from KU DÉ TA.

Hop to it and try something different with these beer cocktails, available at various bars in Singapore.

Black and Tan
Fans of Irish brews are going to love this one. Take not one but two time-honored favorites, Kilkenny cream ale on the bottom, then Guinness draught (but of course) on top, to produce this beautiful bocktail—an Irish yuan yang if you will.
$17 from Mulligan’s Irish Pub & Restaurant

Absolut Classic-Tee-Nee
A marriage of Schneider Weisse Tap 7 Bavarian wheat beer and Absolut vodka that’s shaken up with dashes of Bols lychee liqueur and lychee syrup, served in a martini glass. You might never go back to the insipid lychee martini.
$18 from Sque Rotisserie & Alehouse

Graveyard
This potent drink will wake even the dead. Here’s what goes into it: 15 ml each of Hennessy V.S.O.P, Stolichnaya, Gordon’s, Bacardi, Jim Beam, La Paz tequila and Famous Grouse whisky. But that’s not all, there’s also 200ml of Heineken and Guinness. Imbibe and try not to keel over—you’ve been warned.
$27 from The Penny Black Victorian London Pub
