Celebrating 10-10-10

After several plans (out of town, beach, hotel overnight) we ended up doing what we do best. Drink until the wee hours of morning. This year's venue were Big Sky Mind in QC and The Reserve Liquor Lounge at City Golf Julia Vargas.

We tried the Cobra Shot and it waaaaaaaaaaaaas

Guide to Drinking in Singapore: Bars, Hawker, Duty Free

When in Singapore, EVERYTHING IS EXPENSIVE.

A packet of tissue is at S$0.30. A 500ml bottle of water is at S1.20. A 500ml can of beer is at $5.20. A liter of vodka is at S$89 (grocery) or S$200 (bars)

There's foam coming out of my mouth as I type this.

Budget travelers may ask, "So where do I buy drinks in Singapore?"

Beer + Fireworks

DEFINITELY NOT IN BARS

Bars and clubs have ridiculous beer and cocktail prices, even at Happy Hour. Beer prices also differs depending on the time of the day. Sold by half or full pint, beer in Singapore would set you back S$7 to S$25. You might also be interested to know that Singapore bars sell bottled water for S$6. LOL.

WTF! 7 cocktails for S$77+

Clinic Bar's cocktail prices

CORNERS / STREETS

For cheap(er) drinks, get them at convenience stores like 7-Eleven for S$4 to S$9. Hawker centres may also be a good place to find cheap beers in Singapore. I saw a stall at Makansutra Glutton Bay selling 330ml Tiger at S$5 a can. Some even have a 3 for S$18 promo.

My S$5.20 beer bought at 7-Eleven

FINALLY, HEAVEN!!!

Being budget travelers, we just buy our alcohol supply at the airport Duty Free where vodka, tequila, gin, rhum, brandy, whiskey, and even beer are sold at its normal price. To prove, we bought a liter of Smirnoff vodka at duty free for S$18. But when we checked 7-Eleven, they sell the exact thing for S$89. WHA..WHY..I DON'T...I CANNOT...UNDERSTAND :|

How to make a Flaming B52 cocktail shot

Para sa mga mahilig mag-laro ng apoy

Here's my version of a Flaming B52 shot. I said "my version" because I don't have a Grand Marnier. I used Triple Sec instead because it's cheap (Php185). Grand Marnier would cost around P1,600 and that's pure BS. Well. No. Actually, I just don't have the money.

Flaming B52 Ingredients:
Coffee Liqueur (Kahlua)
Irish Cream (Amarula)
Orange Liqueur (Triple Sec)
High Proof Rum (Bacardi 151)

Barware:
shot glass
shot pourers
bar spoon
straw
matchstick / lighter

Optional:
Fire extinguisher / Pail of water
A Ms.Minchin figure (adult supervision for drunkards age 15 and below)

why a photo of a librarian is here, I have no idea

Highly Recommended:
Bro (for guidance, so your house won't burn down)

Instructions:
With a spoon, layer in exact order the coffee liqueur, irish cream, and triple sec. Add a few* drops of Bacardi 151. Carefully ignite the drink using a match then drink immediately with a straw.

use the back of a spoon to layer ingredients

layered drink

*Typical hard drinks have 30-40% alcohol content. Bacardi 151 has 75.5% alcohol content which makes it highly flammable and stupid to drink as is.

the 151 back label warning is warning you

Here's a step-by-step video, for all you eager learners.

God bless your liver.

CHEERS!
