ASIA'S BEST COCKTAILS & BARS

Nowadays, the cocktail culture is not something reserved only for upscale society. The upward spiral of popularity, aided by ever-growing skills in crafting attractive concoctions, has seen a huge growth in excellent new speakeasy bars, as well as up-to-date offerings in many restaurants and hotels. In other words: cocktails have become much more accessible and serve as somewhat of an icon of holiday celebration. Whilst a great restaurant traditionally has a dedicated sommelier, today it is more

common to find a house mixologist, or menu created by an aspiring cocktail consultant.

To celebrate the growth of the cocktail scene, in this edition we wander through Asia's favourable bars, have an insightful discussion with some of the most influential bartenders in Indonesia and abroad, and also explore the exciting trends created

to satiate our thirst for quality drinks.
