DRINK
Zero waste cocktails
Flor de Caña
Carbon neutral and fair trade certified rum brand Flor de Caña is set to join forces with eco-conscious bars, restaurants and consumers in more than 30 countries with the return of its Zero Waste Cocktails initiative from now till Sept 15.
In its bid to reduce up to 15 tonnes of food waste globally, the brand has roped in 13 participating local bars and restaurants where drink seekers and environmental advocates can look forward to sipping an array of cocktails made using sustainably produced rum and ingredients derived from repurposed food scraps or leftovers. The cocktails will be centred around the Flor De Caña’s Centenario 12-year Rum — reputed for its exceptional smoothness and expressions of honeyed oak woods, vanilla and toasted nuts.
This year’s participating bars include Fat Prince, Limehouse, Low Tide, MO Bar, Nighthawk, Nutmeg & Clove, Papa Doble, Patina, Set of Six, The Bar @15 Stamford, The Hidden Story, The Landing Point and Tippling Club. A tip: Do book a table at Low Tide on Sept 4, as guest bartenders will be gathering for a final sip of their creations.

Accompanying that is a limited-edition collection of Tiger swag including bucket hats, tees, tote bags, bum bags and water bottles, redeemable by participating in a line-up of activities on its website.
