Once I heard it was anise-based (like Pernod, Pastis, Ouzo, and so on, but unsweetened, unlike Sambuca), I had to try the unofficial national drink of Turkey, Raki.
Not bad, though better with food (cooked meat).

Scenic Drinks in Singapore
26 JanAlong with eating in Singapore, I had drinks at a few memorable places.
The stout and blonde at the scenic Level 33 brewpub were my favorite:
I had an unremarkable beer (maybe a Tiger?) on the rooftop deck at Prelude, a bar above the Boathouse restaurant adjacent to the Fullerton Hotel. Another nice place to spend a balmy winter evening.
Finally, I had a “Tony Stark” (a transparent and successful attempt to sell a “manly” cocktail): it involved caramelized pineapple and black pepper, and was cute but a waste of money at $24 Singaporean ($18 US)). The 57th-floor views from the top of the Marina Bay Sands hotel and casino made up for that, though:
Chipotle Cocktail
19 NovI’m more into beer, but an A+ cocktail at Millenium: ”House Infused Manchurian Crabapple & Chipotle Tequila, Kaffir Lime, Pomegranate, Cane Syrup, Peychaud’s Bitters”. A tart and smoky slow burn.
Cue grainy cell phone photo:
