MO BAR Singapore launched Vol. 7 of its Modern Localism series on 24 February 2026, a 15-drink menu called The City of Art that maps a day in the city through collaboration, featuring contributions from 11 local creators. The lineup pairs the bar’s bartending with perfumers, designers, chefs, and musicians, designed to evoke morning rituals, daytime pauses, and late-night industry moments.
Highlights range from Sifr Fizz, an aromatic highball made with Sifr Aromatic’s hydrosol, to Velour Kiss, a chamomile and bee pollen gin served developed with La Dermalogique. Evening options include Jo-hwa, a matsutake-infused gin cocktail with ANJU, and a renewed Reclaimed Sling 3.0 reinterpretation of the Singapore Sling.
For curious drinkers, the menu turns city storytelling into a tasting experience: each serve translates a collaborator’s craft into flavors and rituals, reinforcing a wider trend of locality-led, cross-disciplinary cocktail programs.
