Baccarat, the alchemist of joy and creator of enchanting worlds, rings in the Year of the Dragon with its latest bar partnership with the MO BAR at Mandarin Oriental, Singapore. With a strong heritage in creating luxurious drink- and barware, Baccarat believes that every moment is an opportunity for pleasure and joy.

As part of the luxury house’s Baccarat Cocktail World Tour, this partnership with MO BAR includes an exclusive collaboration with MO BAR Singapore and MO BAR Shenzhen over two months, starting from February 2024 and concluding at the end of March 2024.

This partnership sees exquisitely-crafted cocktails concocted by expert mixologists at MO BAR, served in the brand’s dazzling crystal barware – bringing delight with every sip as everything tastes better in Baccarat.

With a history dating back to 1764, the brand draws its luminosity from the passion of artisans back in the day. Using the four elements of nature – air, earth, fire and water, their craftsmanship perfected a crystal of unparalleled beauty and purity. It is this mastery of their handiwork and technique that has won Baccarat numerous awards in the past 260 years while innovating to hone their expertise. The same drive allows the brand to attain mastery in creating dazzling works of art for the home and into each room – providing radiance and wonderment with each illuminating piece.

Blue Manhattan

served in Baccarat Masséna Flute 

Johnnie Walker Blue Label, Home-made PX Sherry + Rosso, Hinoki Bitters

A classic Manhattan done with a twist – using the oaky finish of Hinoki Bitters is a bittersweet cocktail that emanates warm notes of raisin, balanced by the aroma of sweet fruit from the PX. Served in Baccarat’s Masséna Flute, it pays homage to part of its namesake, giving off classic New York City vibes.

Walker Sour

served in Baccarat Narcisse Coupe

Johnnie Walker Blue Label, Bourbon Oak Barrel Syrup, Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, Citrus and Egg White

The creamy concoction is a sweet and sour balance of dreams and passions reflected in one. Citrus notes bring harmony to the Blue Label whisky blend of vanilla, honey and rose petals. Is it a dessert? Is it a cocktail? Why not both, one asks. Take time to decide which it is as you sip from the curves of the Narcisse Champagne Coupe.

Disaronno Expectations

served in Baccarat Harmonie Highball

Mezcal, Disaronno Amaretto, Verjuice, Clarified Pineapple Juice, and Egg White

A tropical yet smoky expression, the Disaronno Expectations blends the flavours of mezcal with almond in amaretto liqueur. The acidity of verjuice softens the sweetness and enhances the smoky finish. The cloudy drink is a perfect finish to a long day, surprising you with each sip.

Insomniac

served in Baccarat Beluga Tumbler

Osmanthus Aged Rum, Mr Black Coffee, Coconut Water, Black Cocoa and Orange Bitters

Get an adrenaline rush from the caffeine in this cocktail. Lightly flavoured with floral osmanthus from the rum, then enhanced with notes of chocolate, Insomniac is a cool drink ready to toast to the sunrise.
