As the month of August approaches, the dining scene in Singapore is set to become even more exciting with a plethora of excellent food menus paired with inspired drinks and creative cocktails. One such establishment that is making waves is Republic at The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore, which has recently unveiled its Volume Three cocktail menu, featuring 16 imaginative libations that pay homage to the bold and convivial spirit of the 1960s.
The new cocktail menu at Republic is divided into four pillars: Icons, Media, Aesthetics, and Innovation. Each pillar represents a different aspect of the era and offers a unique drinking experience. One standout cocktail from the Icons category is the Founding Father, a heartfelt nod to Lee Kuan Yew’s visionary leadership. This sophisticated cocktail incorporates Singapore’s national flower, the orchid, with rum and sparkling wine, evoking the elegance and sophistication associated with his enduring legacy.
In the Media category, guests can enjoy the Woman of the Year cocktail, which commemorates the pioneering spirit of Her World, Singapore’s first women’s magazine published in 1960. This invigorating gin and sparkling wine-based cocktail is elevated by ginger chilli honey and edible gold stars, symbolizing the grace and vigour of women’s collective voices.
For those looking to explore the artistic side of the era, the Aesthetics pillar offers drinks like Visions of Stella, a fruit-punch style cocktail with hints of coffee and adorned with a slab of meringue, echoing the multi-coloured looped curves prominent in Frank Stella’s works. Finally, the Innovation pillar takes guests on groundbreaking milestones and celestial journeys with cocktails like the Bullet Train, a matcha-infused sake cocktail inspired by the Shinkansen.
In addition to the innovative cocktail menu, Republic also offers a refreshed food menu with delectable dishes such as Grilled Pork Char Siew in a steamed soft bun, Creamy Truffle Arancini, Lobster Gunkan with Laksa Miso Glaze and Mango Salsa, and Salmon Crudo with Passion Fruit Shoyu Vinaigrette. These dishes are designed to complement the bold flavors and creative concoctions of the cocktail menu, creating a truly immersive dining experience.
Located at The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore, Republic Bar provides a sophisticated and elegant setting for guests to enjoy a unique and memorable dining experience. Whether you’re a cocktail connoisseur or a food enthusiast, Republic offers something for everyone, making it a must-visit destination for those looking to indulge in the vibrant and exciting culinary scene in Singapore.
