After two years of muted Christmas celebrations, cocktail bars are looking to ring in the festive cheer this season. Pen down a watering hole for your pre-dinner (or post-dinner) stop. Who knows? You might pick up a drink idea or two from the bartender for your next home party. We pick five bars to visit this Christmas.

MANHATTAN

The Christmas Village Sunday Cocktail Brunch returns to Regent Singapore’s Manhattan bar, featuring a spread straight out of a John Hughes Christmas movie. Expect cocktails like the fruity Frosty Bramble, a combination of vodka, crème de menthe, pink peppercorn syrup and lemon juice; and the aromatic Christmas Bijou, a Farmer’s Gin (infused with the hotel’s Regent Tea) mixed with vermouth and green Chartreuse.
