Alastair ‘Al’ Tan was born and bred in sunny Singapore.
“Contrary to popular belief, I am quite the geek. Other than bartending, video games, movies, rock n' roll and anything in between are my kind of thing.
“I had the immense luck and pleasure of accidentally entering into this wonderful industry with what was initially to be a temporary thing; to get my ass off the couch and out of my room, with a job that happens to fit my nocturnal sleeping habits, and at the same time, able to give me some spending money. From what started out as just making me curious, bartending very quickly got my attention, becoming my full-fledged passion and my life. A few years have passed by since then and I am not looking back, I never will.”
“Cherry Heering a vital part of Singapore Sling. Cherry Heering has distinctive cherry fruitiness and smokiness, very present in the flavor of a Singapore Sling. If you take that out it is not a Singapore Sling, not a twist, not anything, it´s another drink completely. You can’t make a Singapore Sling without the Cherry Heering”
