Give yourself a chance to unwind and indulge in these specially-curated cocktails for the season.

Basking in the sunlight, dipping your toes in the sand and sipping on a summer cocktail &mdash; these sum up&nbsp;the relaxing spirit of summer for many. But the reality of our 9-to-5 jobs jolts us back to sunny Singapore and there&rsquo;s hardly any time to slow it down. That doesn&rsquo;t mean you shouldn&rsquo;t be allowed some moments of indulgence through summer-centric cocktails. Here are some bar recommendations that will help mellow down the hustle with their new selection&nbsp;of cocktails for the summer.

Sparked from the idea of an afternoon coffee or tea, the&nbsp;Eph518 Cocktail Bar&nbsp;brings forth cocktails infused with coffee and tea &mdash; perfect if you want to take a breather while trying to get through the day. Stir Me Wide Awake is a concoction that infuses whisky with Pu&rsquo;er tea and black sesame, while also including coffee beans, rum and chocolate bitters. The Golden Guk Bo is the spirited version of the popular&nbsp;kopitiam&nbsp;Chinese tea. These cocktails will definitely get you buzzing with energy that you never knew you had, while letting you experience&nbsp;a fresh spin on what we know to be &ldquo;traditional&rdquo;.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Get your caffeine fix at d&rsquo;Good Caf&eacute;, 273 Holland Avenue, 278992.&nbsp;Open from&nbsp;4pm to 11pm daily, up to 12am on Fridays and Saturdays.

The Gibson Bar&nbsp;is known for capturing scenic imagery in the form of a drink. Their Always Summer cocktail will definitely transport you to a Hawaiian beach while spicing up the idea of coconut-sipping. Served with sake, the coconut gin sorbet will inject the sentiment of vacationing at the beach or a touch of golden sand at your feet that you&rsquo;ve been dreaming about. If what you&#39;re longing&nbsp;for is a little time off to recharge, you can get it with &ldquo;nectar of the Gods&rdquo; &mdash; aka the Honey PX &mdash; made with Trigona bee honey, Nikka Coffey Vodka and lemon, which gives an uplifting sweetness&nbsp;with a just little sting at the end.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Grab these delicious pick-me-ups at 20 Bukit Pasoh Road, Singapore 089834, Level 2.&nbsp;Open from 6pm to 1am from Monday to Thursday, and from 6pm to 2am on Friday and Saturday.

Intermezzo Bar has&nbsp;introduced&nbsp;12 new signature craft cocktails that&nbsp;celebrate the tropics and spices. A little history lesson: in the 19th century, a cash crop plantation sat on Orchard Road, yielding produce such as nutmeg, pineapple and gambier. Intermezzo&nbsp;Bar drew&nbsp;on this history nugget to curate a menu with concoctions such as Pandan or Pepper, which pay tribute to their botanical and citrus aspects.&nbsp;Pandan brings a burst of flavours through pandan-infused vodka, citrus cordial and East Imperial Mombasa Ginger Beer to fizz the stress away. On the other hand,&nbsp;Pepper serves up St. George Botanivore and Green Chartreuse which&nbsp;bring out a botanical-based flavour and rubs off as sophisticated yet refreshing.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Have a fix of these cocktails to take off some midday shade at Orchard Hotel, 442 Orchard Road Singapore, 238879.&nbsp;Open from 10am to 1am daily.

Nutmeg &amp; Clove

The cocktail menu at Nutmeg &amp; Clove brings forth the history of Singapore&rsquo;s existing summer state, leading guests through time with fruits, flora, fauna, nuts, herbs and spices &mdash; all of which point to a refreshing cumulation down a road of sentiment. Instead of simply trying to refresh and quench, Nutmeg &amp; Clove brings in a tasteful depiction of beachwear. Conjuring images of chilling in a floral printed shirt&nbsp;with a jasmine flower tucked over your ear,&nbsp;Oh My Jasmine! gives hints of umami from salted jasmine foam that marries well with the citrus and smoky notes of the cocktail. A little time for sentiment and reflection could just be what you need to slow down in the time being.

&nbsp;

Recall fun times at the&nbsp;beach and plan for more at 10A Ann Siang Hill, Singapore 069789.&nbsp;Open from 6pm to 1am from Monday to Thursday, and from 6am to 2am on&nbsp;Friday and Saturday.

1919 Waterboat House &amp; Rooftop Bar

The scenic river-bay view atop a Singapore heritage building can only mean one thing: an intimate setting for hot summer dates. It only gets better with 1919 Waterboat House &amp; Rooftop Bar&#39;s specially curated cocktail menu that marries the Singapore&#39;s landmarks with the summer season. Orchard is a vodka-based singnature that bursts with fruitiness &mdash; apples and apricots doused in cinnamon and lemon &mdash; capturing the tiki feeling at a beach party with a tropical country twist. There&#39;s also the Merlion Punch, which&nbsp;mixes passion fruit, white peach and pineapple, giving a mini mouthful of summer.

&nbsp;

Get a taste&nbsp;at #03-01, 3 Fullerton Road, The Waterboathouse, Singapore 049215.&nbsp;Open from 5pm to 12am from Monday to Thursday, and from 5pm to 2am on Friday and Saturday.&nbsp;Closed on Sundays.
