It's that time of year again... & Republic Bar has a Festive Cocktails menu with 5 options (at $26++ a pop) to get your Christmas spirit on. Available daily 'til 31st December 2022, from 5:30pm onwards.

I couldn't pass up Eggnog (pictured in the tall glass, next to the Negroni), as it is one of my favourite things about Christmas - especially the alcoholic variant. Creamy, sweet drinks deviate vastly from my typical go-to flavour profile for cocktails... But this is probably the only exception.

Expectedly, this is dangerously easy to drink. Quite reminiscent of when I'd put Bailey's in my milk & cereal, & sit at the back of the LT to inconspicuously slurp it up during class. But this drink is better, in part because it isn't as sweet as the "cereal milk" left behind post-meal.

The lightness in the whipped texture of cream & egg provides a comforting mouthfeel in every sip. & as you swallow, you get the warm contrasting depth of the dark spirits - Barcadi 8 & Michter's Bourbon. Of course, there is that touch of nutmeg for a homely Christmas feel... The warm hug that envelopes everything so nicely together.

I enjoyed this from start to finish, but am cognizant that I might be a little bit biased, festival-wise. Try it for yourself & pass your own judgement 😉
