20250416 SKAI Bar Photo by Swissotel the Stamford

Indulge in masterfully crafted cocktails made by two talented women mixologists this April 23, 2025

SKAI Bar is pleased to announce its first Accor collaboration, a MŌGA takeover in partnership with its sister hotel, Pullman Singapore Hill Street

For one-night-only, on Wednesday, April 23, 2025, SKAI Bar will be hosting a mixology showdown featuring two talented women mixologists: Rozette Arellano from SKAI Bar and Shaina Yeh from MŌGA

Rozette Arellano is a self-taught mixologist who makes floral-inspired drinks

Rozette Arellano is a self-taught, passionate mixologist who first began her journey as a server at SKAI before moving behind the bar. Inspired and guided by SKAI Bar’s lead mixologist Howard, as well as the team, she immediately found her calling and has made a name for herself with her vibrant, floral-inspired cocktails. Her inspiration and creative direction are rooted in childhood memories of her mother’s garden. 

Shaina Yeh is MOGA's newest mixologist and is the Rookie of the Year in the Cointreau Global Margarita Challenge 2024

Shaina Yeh is a new addition to the MŌGA team, bringing a fresh new energy and mastery from her time at 28 Hongkong Street. She recently secured a Top 10 finish in the Cointreau Global Margarita Challenge 2024, earning the coveted Rookie of the Year title. 

The event’s cocktail menu will undoubtedly delight the senses. Rozette’s cocktails are inspired by the vibrant colors of flowers and punchy exotic flavors. The Violet blends Don Julio Blanco, Crème de Cassis, Mancino Rosso, fresh lime, and bitters, finished with a hint of rosemary, while La Bionda combines Singleton 12-Year, Malibu, Disaronno, lime, and sugar syrup for a fruity, balanced cocktail. 

Shaina will present her mix with the MŌGA Gimlet – a crisp mix of Tanqueray, Calamansi Champagne Cordial, and lemon served neat in a pony glass – and her Japanese Tea Party, an aromatic concoction of Hojicha-infused Zacapa, Green Tea Umeshu, Angostura, and orange bitters over rock ice. 

Bar bites will also be available to order until 10:30 PM, with late-night snacks in service afterwards. Cocktails are priced at SDG$25++ and mocktails at SGD$16++, including a special collaborative mocktail created by both mixologists. 

Later this year, Bar MŌGA at Pullman Singapore Hill Street will host the team from SKAI Bar on July 28, 2025, for a special crossover guest shift.
