A NEW CHAPTER OF COCKTAIL CREATIVITY AT MANHATTAN SINGAPORE
Manhattan at Conrad Singapore Orchard brings a fresh perspective to cocktail culture with Circle of Celebration, a menu inspired by the festivals, sporting traditions, holidays and shared occasions that bring people together across America.
Introduced in September 2026, the collection features 27 cocktails across five distinctive chapters, each reflecting a different aspect of American culture. Developed by the bar team under Beverage Manager Zana Möhlmann, the menu combines inventive flavours, thoughtful presentations and stories drawn from familiar celebrations, offering guests a new way to explore Manhattan’s creative approach to cocktail-making.
Circle of Celebration – Windmill
Circle of Celebration
The menu unfolds across five chapters, beginning with The Sounds of Rhythm, inspired by American music festivals such as Summerfest, Lollapalooza and Burning Man. The Playmakers captures the excitement of sporting traditions, from the Super Bowl to the Kentucky Derby, while All Walks of Life explores occasions such as Thanksgiving and Halloween alongside Manhattan’s own signature cocktails.
Encore brings back four favourites from previous menus, each connected to a memorable New York occasion. Completing the collection is Friends of Manhattan, featuring collaborations with acclaimed bars from Tokyo, Jakarta, Washington, D.C. and Bangkok, celebrating the connections within the international bar community.
Among the highlights, Super Sunday captures the spirit of the Super Bowl with Roku Gin, Cocchi Americano, salted passionfruit, lager and lime. Inspired by the flavours of game-day favourites, the cocktail offers a playful interpretation of one of America’s biggest sporting occasions.
Gallop Julep pays tribute to the Kentucky Derby with mint-infused vodka, hay-infused Angel’s Envy Bourbon and a delicate rose tincture inspired by the traditional garland of roses presented to the winner.
Circle of Celebration – Big Gig
Meanwhile, Victor celebrates the Chicago Cubs’ historic 2016 World Series victory with a tiki-style blend of Santa Teresa 1796 Rum, Drambuie, agricole rum and South African bush tea. Three cherries complete the presentation, symbolising victory.
Thanks a Bunch sets the Thanksgiving table with Orientalist Dragon 12 Year Whisky, cheery brandy, port and a spiced cranberry and apple shrub.
Beyond these creative interpretations, Manhattan continues to explore the art of barrel ageing. Home to the world’s first in-hotel rickhouse, housing more than 100 American oak barrels, the bar showcases established signatures such as the Barrel-Aged Manhattan and Solera-Aged Negroni, highlighting the influence of time and oak on flavour.
For guests who prefer alcohol-free options, six cocktails across three chapters are also available in zero-proof interpretations, retaining the same attention to flavour, presentation and storytelling.
Award-Winning Creativity Behind the Bar
The new menu arrives at a significant moment for Manhattan. In October 2026, Beverage Manager Zana Möhlmann was named Diageo World Class Global Bartender of the Year 2026, emerging victorious against leading bartenders representing 49 countries at the global finals in Edinburgh, Scotland.
The international recognition marks an important milestone in Zana’s career, highlighting her technical skill, creativity and approach to hospitality. Having progressed from Head Bartender to Beverage Manager at Manhattan, she continues to play a central role in shaping the bar’s cocktail programme and creative direction.
Her achievement also adds to Manhattan’s reputation as a destination for inventive cocktails, where classic techniques meet contemporary ideas and influences from around the world.

For something more indulgent, the Beef Tartare features USDA Prime tenderloin on potato mille-feuille, finished with peated whiskey.
