Over the course of 8 weeks, luxury travel retailer DFS would be hosting their Cocktail Festival for the second time at Changi Airport! For those like me who were unaware, Changi offers not only duty-free alcohol for purchase but also complimentary tastings of some of the best and most exclusive liquors in the world. Hence, a shout out to all travelers and cocktail aficionados, from 6 September to 31 October, you are welcome to taste a series of specially designed drinks. And you can even learn how to develop customized cocktail recommendations using recipes curated by a variety of brands, throughout all terminals.

Sampling some of the special concoctions at the Upper Level of the DFS Wines and Spirits Duplex at Terminal 3, I enjoyed the Raffles Gin which used Sipsmith Raffles 1915 Edition Gin. A hint of tangy, almost citrusy notes, the Malaysian Peninsula inspired botanical blend had jasmine flowers, fresh pomelo peel, lemongrass, Kaffir lime, nutmeg and cardamom distilled alongside the award-winning Sipsmith London Dry Gin. Very classy and refreshing.

In addition to the exclusive spirits offered on site, travelers who spend S$150 or more can step up their cocktail game at home with a complimentary bar kit which features an iridescent shaker, jigger and spoon.
