Mid-Autumn Festival is all about family reunions, glowing lanterns, and of course — mooncakes. But in Singapore, the celebrations have gone next-level: think cocktail-inspired mooncakes infused with champagne, gin, Baijiu, or even Baileys. And the best part? You don’t have to stop at dessert — these hotels have lounges and bars where you can savour your boozy mooncakes with a perfectly paired drink.
Here’s where to head this Mid-Autumn 2025 for mooncakes with a kick.
Origin Bar at Shangri-La Singapore
Cocktail lovers, this one’s for you. Shangri-La’s Origin Bar Cocktail Baked Skin Mooncakes are inspired by the bar’s POV menu concept, this gift set transforms with a change in perspective. Closed, it resembles a dreamy galaxy; opened, it reveals a radiant full moon, stars and a rabbit — a whimsical nod to Mid-Autumn magic. Inside, six mini mooncakes inspired by signature cocktails — Carrot Cake and Tea-ramisu, paired with a sleek flask of Negroni. A bold toast to creativity and tradition.
Pair your mooncake with the actual cocktail at the bar for a double hit of flavour. It’s the ultimate East-meets-West party for your taste buds.
Xin Cuisine – Holiday Inn Singapore Atrium
Meet the Sesame Paste with Negroni Praline Snowskin Mooncake — yes, a mooncake inspired by a cocktail. Grab a seat at Atrium Bar 317 right after, order a classic Negroni, and see how well it matches. Spoiler: dangerously well.
This is Mid-Autumn for those who believe cocktails > tea.
Fairmont Singapore – Baileys & Bubbly Pairings
Flavours: Baileys Espresso Snowskin, Champagne Snowskin
Fairmont’s snow skin mooncakes bring a decadent, boozy surprise. The Baileys Espresso is rich and velvety with a coffee punch, while the Champagne flavour is light, celebratory, and perfect for toasting under the lanterns.
Pair it with: A cocktail at Anti:dote Bar, where creative mixology meets sleek vibes — the perfect setting to enjoy these dessert-meets-drink creations.
Raffles Hotel Singapore – Boozy Classics with a Luxury Twist
Flavours: Soursop & Gin Truffle, Merlot & Fig Truffle, Champagne Truffle, Baijiu Black Sesame Truffle
Raffles Hotel has built a cult following for its snow skin mooncakes, and 2025’s lineup proves why. From gin-infused fruity truffles to rich Merlot & Fig, these creations taste like cocktail hour in a mooncake box. The Champagne Truffle is a festival icon, while the Baijiu Black Sesame packs a distinctly Asian punch.
👉 Pair it with: A signature Singapore Sling at the Long Bar, or a glass of bubbly at the Writers Bar — where heritage, luxury, and indulgence meet.
🌕 Why Settle for Tea?
This Mid-Autumn Festival, it’s all about mixing tradition with a twist. Whether it’s cocktail-inspired mooncakes at Shangri-La or a bubbly pairing at Raffles Hotel, Singapore’s bars are proof that the best way to celebrate is with a drink in one hand and a mooncake in the other.
