intheCHILL intheCHILL Orgo Located on the Roof Terrace at the Esplanade, Orgo is the perfect vantage point to take in the ever-changing Singapore skyline. Short for “Organic Chemistry”, this rooftop bar was designed without walls so it utilises glass structures instead to accentuate its modern, city feel. Its spaces are also continually used to display work by leading local creative talents. The food and beverage team at Orgo is headed by renowned Japanese master mixologist, Tomoyuki Kitazoe. Adhering to the organic theme at Orgo, Tomoyuki has created a series of drinks at Orgo that avoids the use of any artificial flavourings and colourings, syrups and canned juices. For a unique experience in the midst of the city, Orgo is the place to go. - www.orgo.sg COAST @ 1 TwentySix What better place to unwind at besides the beach?

Award winning mixologist, Zac Mirza, has over 20 years of experience under his belt. Make your way to House of Dandy and try out his specialty: The Dandy Threesome, a blend of Artenum blanco tequila, Cointreau and kaffir lime topped with caramelised ginger and a touch of egg white for a creamier; full-bodied flavour. - www.house-of-dandy.com 97 Weekendin
