Bored at home? Let us bring Happy Hour to you – virtually!!
During this period, it is important that everyone stays home as much as possible. While travelling seems beyond reach, the Singapore Tourism Board wants you to experience VisitSingapore by sharing locally inspired cocktail recipes that you can recreate at home.
Today, we are sharing with you a local classic, the Singapore Sling. This cocktail was created in the early 1900s at the Long Bar in Raffles Hotel. It is a “tiki” style cocktail that is sweet, refreshing and very delicious. Our version of the Singapore Sling uses fresh pineapple juice –although it might be a little more troublesome but trust us, it is totally worth it. We are also using the Singapore Dry Gin from Brass Lion Distillery, this gin is perfect for this drink as it contains aromatics like torch ginger flower and lemongrass.
Try making the Singapore Sling at home! You should also visit Singapore to try the OG version at the Long Bar once this is over. Until then, let's all cheers from the comfort of our own homes.
