Published: Nov. 26, 2020, 10:08 a.m.

Within 30 years, Singapore has gone from a location that was mostly just known for the Singapore Sling to one of the world's iconic cocktail capitals. We talk to Din Hassan and Naz Arjuna, stalwarts of the cocktail scene in Singapore on their journeys in the industry. Hear how veteran Din went from barback in the early days of the scene to now one of Singapore's most well-known mixologists. Or connect with Naz's candid insights on what it takes to build a career in the sector here in Singapore! We fill in the gaps from what you can't find online on how the cocktail scene has evolved and what makes it uniquely Singaporean! Shoutouts within to Vivian Pei, Ryan Clift, Matthew Bax, Ken Loon, Indra Kantono, Michael Callahan,  Singapore Tourism Board.
