(feature image: ATLAS Singapore)
From vacuum-packed garnishes to handwritten notes to prompt deliveries, these bars (and one distiller) have made drinking at home all the more palatable.
Here’s how to get your drink on in the comfort – and more importantly, safety – of your own place during this pandemic. (Tip: Try these hygiene tips to make sure you don’t accidentally invite in the coronavirus along with your food or alcohol deliveries.)
Also, with Gin and Tonic day coming up this 19 October, these home deliveries will be just the life-saver for home parties (; Though because of social-distancing rules, let’s keep them at a safe number…maybe 5?
