It’s midnight. You need your booze but you are already in your PJ’s and you are lazy to head out. Even if you do, your choices are limited.

We feel you and we can understand how vexing it is. Buying alcohol past midnight used to be a breeze until the new Liquor Control Act was formed in 2015.

But it’s ok, y’all. We’ve got your backs. Today, we share with you three alcohol delivery companies that do deliveries past midnight. You are very welcome!

Perhaps one of the first few cocktails you’d start with when you first hit a club would be the classic Gin and Tonic: a highball cocktail made with Gin and Tonic water poured over ice.

While we might have never actually given much thought to the origins of the spirits served— granted, alcohol is usually imported—you’d never actually expect to find a distillery on home ground.

Situated among dozens of other mini factories that churn out baked goods is where Tanglin Gin—a micro-distillery—produces what can be considered Singapore’s very own homemade gin. It’s rather surprising; really, how long it took for our first distillery to appear, considering how much of Singapore’s nightlife centres around drinking?

Named after “Twa Tang Leng”, meaning “Great East Hill Peaks”, Tanglin was once home to plantations growing pepper, nutmeg and ginger. Tanglin Gin can also be believed to be continuing this tradition of growing such flavours in their own unique way.

As Singapore’s only hand-crafted spirit that’s distilled in Singapore, it’s absolutely crucial to the team that it bottles the spirit of Singapore in it, and they have done so by articulating 11 different botanicals that define and represent the multitude of cultures and ethnicities in our city.

So what it is that makes up a bottle of Tanglin Gin? Of course, it’s impossible to have gin without juniper berries, with a twist in the form of Indian Amchoor—unripe green mango in a powdered form—which adds an extra citrus note to it, and of course, what really makes it Singaporean, Orchid flowers.

To be more specific, it’s the dried stems of the Dendrobium Orchid—more commonly known as the Chinese immortality herb, Shi Hu, and the vanilla beans extracted from the fruit of the Vanilla Orchid.

They also add organic oranges to give an added touch of sweetness from citrus. Taking inspiration from Australian gins, they make their own unique flavour profile by placing said oranges directly below the vanilla.

The resultant taste is unlike your regular varieties. It’s sweet from the vanilla and liquorice while giving a full-bodied creamy mouthful that goes even further with a dash of tonic and a squeeze of orange for a citrusy lift.

Tanglin Gin continues to aim to push for more recipes that would tie in with local flavours while proudly saying they are the definition of a good quality gin, and one that is made in Singapore.

While the distillery is not open to the public, you’re still able to purchase a bottle of the spirit online.

Singapore tends to get disgustingly hot at times, and we all hate the feeling of having to walk around in the sweltering heat. However, there is a simple remedy to this problem — a good cocktail.

There is something oh-so-satisfying about sipping on a cocktail while resting in the shade far away from the tropical heat, so we have here a list of 11 summer cocktails to save you from Singapore’s high levels of humidity.

Know your cocktails well, so that you won’t stumble the next time you place an order.

BEER COCKTAIL 

For all our alcoholics out there who love beer and cocktails, we have the perfect concoction for you: a beer cocktail. This fizzy, refreshing blend is so good that even people who are not huge fans of beer can enjoy it.

BLOODY MARY

Bloody Mary’s are a tough one to swallow. With its complex, bold flavours, it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. However, this stuff tends to grow on you, and one day you may be able to appreciate this tangy, sweet, sour and spicy drink on a hot summers day.

LONG ISLAND ICED TEA

We would like to think of Long Island Teas as the perfect cup of iced lemon tea in alcohol form. This refreshing and smooth drink is perfect for beating the heat and is great for when you’re craving something tangy.

MARGARITA 

Margaritas are one of the most popular cocktails out there, and this tart, crisp drink is bursting full of complex flavours that leaves you wanting more. Some call it the perfect cocktail for a summer afternoon, and we cannot agree more.

MAI TAI 

The Mai Tai was made for rum lovers and is a complex drink, and is dubbed as Hawaii’s favourite drink as the people there feel that it is the solution to beat the heat. If the people in Hawaii need this drink to fight the heat, we Singaporeans will definitely benefit from it too.

MARTINI

This cooling, crisp drink comes in many forms, so you are free to try and test to see which ones suit your taste buds better, making it a pretty versatile drink. Our favourite would be a good old gin martini that has herbal and pine notes; perfect after a tiring, hot day!

MOJITO 

If you like all things minty and tangy, a Mojito is the answer to all your problems. This tart yet sweet concoction is considered a long drink and is the perfect mix to sip on on a humid, tiring afternoon for a little pick me up.

OLD FASHIONED

The Old Fashioned is a whisky based drink that gets its name from how the cocktail is made from old-fashioned cocktail making techniques. There are many variations of it, but in general, they are strong yet a tad bit sweet at the same time, with herbal and bitter undertones. This is great if you’re looking for a sweeter drink to sip on to beat the heat.

PINA COLADA

The Pina Colada is one that the ladies prefer due to it being similar to a smoothie. This sweet concoction is made of rum, coconut cream and pineapple juice, and is the kind of drink that you want to sip on at the beach while basking in the sun.

PISCO 

This smooth drink makes you feel like you’re drinking wine instead of a cocktail. Its a much more complex drink that is not everyone’s cup of tea, but for those who can appreciate it, it’s a great drink to have on a hot day.

SINGAPORE SLING 

And how could we leave out the one cocktail that is literally named after us? The Singapore Sling was made for the ladies and is a cooling drink with a bitter-sweet aftertaste. This drink looks pretty innocent, but watch out, it has an alcohol content of close to 7% which can make your Asian flush come out to play.
