Creating a Frothy Nutmeg and Clove Cocktail

In the bustling cocktail scene of Singapore, one bar stands out for its dedication to the art of mixology and the creation of intricate drinks that spark conversations. Nutmeg & Clove, located in the heart of the city, has become synonymous with the Ramos Gin Fizz, a cocktail known for its complexity and the skill required to make it just right.

Head bartender Gavin Teverasan, the mastermind behind Nutmeg & Clove’s signature drink, has perfected the art of creating a Ramos-style cocktail that pays homage to the bar’s namesake. This foamy concoction is a delicate balance of sweet, sour, and creamy notes, topped with a nostalgic Apollo chocolate-covered wafer bar that adds a touch of whimsy to the experience.

During the bar’s recent menu launch event, Teverasan wowed guests by serving up to 40 Ramos-style cocktails simultaneously, showcasing the bar’s commitment to pushing boundaries and creating unique drinking experiences. The challenge of making a perfect Ramos Gin Fizz is not lost on Teverasan and his team, who take pride in their ability to craft this notoriously difficult drink with precision and flair.

For those looking to recreate the Nutmeg & Clove experience at home, the bar has generously shared its recipe for the signature cocktail. With ingredients like clove-infused bourbon, gula melaka syrup, and a hint of lemon juice, this drink is sure to impress even the most discerning cocktail connoisseurs. So raise a glass to Nutmeg & Clove and the art of conversation-starting cocktails – cheers to a night of unforgettable drinks and lively discussions!
