New Sippers at Tippling Club

Amongst the 31 drinks, the refreshing Funky Monks by Red Hot Chilli Peppers (S$24), was our favourite, with the wedge of lime coated in Togarashi adding more tang and heat to the drink. Greenbacks by Ray Charles (S$25) sports a citrus and earthy of blend stout whiskey, carthusian monk liqueur, and chardonnay. Remember to bring your headphones, as the drinks are even more enjoyable as you listen to their curated playlist.
