Recipe: The Veit cocktail from Asia’s best bar

For the second year in a row, The Manhattan bar at the Regent Singapore Hotel has been crowned the best bar in Asia at the 2018 edition of Asia’s 50 Best Bars awards.

Inspired by old New York, mixologist Philip Bischoff’s cocktail menu traces five distinct eras of the Big Apple, starting with the 16th century, when Dutch explorers settled the southern tip of Manhattan, to the 1990s, titled “Bright Lights, Big City.”
