Journey through 10 Years of Mixology (1 September – 30 December)

A spectacular showcase of over 10 unique cocktails across Marina Bay Sands’ award-winning restaurants, 10 Years of Mixology invites guests to journey with the integrated resort down memory lane and through the passage of time, as it looks to reimagine the future.

Handcrafted with artful precision and love, each cocktail tells a chapter of the Marina Bay Sands story, from its bold beginnings as the glittering icon of the Singapore skyline (Mott 32’s East Atlantis) and constant pursuit to deliver the city’s best nightlife experiences (KOMA’s Dusk to Dawn), to the IR’s unwavering commitment to sustainability (Club55’s I Dream of Greenie), and 
tranquil respites in the midst of the bustling downtown (Yardbird’s Bourbon by the Bay). The journey culminates in Renku’s Two-0-Two-0 and ADRIFT by David Myers’s Re:Imagination, with the former celebrating a glorious decade, and the latter reimagining the future as Marina Bay Sands embarks on its next chapter. Priced at S$20 nett each, these limited-time cocktails are available until 30 December 2020 (till 10pm daily) and served by the table for guests to enjoy with exceptional bar bites or a decadent main course.
