ATYPICAL SPIRITS

Your bar should already have all the standard brown and white stuff, but Jason Williams, creative director at Proof & Company, strongly recommends including left-field spirits like pisco (“The unaged, Peruvian kind, of course.”) and mezcal, tequila’s cooler, smokier and spicier cousin. “It’s like tasting the heart of Oaxaca and works great as a float on a margarita, too.” And let’s not forget our local offerings. “Get into what Singapore distillers are doing. We have some great localised, modern gins. But stay away from the overly flavoured stuff.”
