Singapore Sling is a gin-based sling cocktail that originated in Singapore. This was invented by a bartender named Ngiam Tong Boon, who worked in a bar called Raffles bar in Singapore. It was initially known as Gin sling. 

The Origin of Singapore Sling Drink

Known initially as gin sling, it was attested from 1790, describing a North American drink of gin flavored, sweetened, and served cold. The Singapore sling has been documented as early as 1930 as a recipe in the Savoy cocktail book. The Gin sling formula persisted for decades and was recalled in 1982 in The Sainsbury Book of Cocktails & Party Drinks, where it is also called the Singapore Sling and was one of the classic recipes of that time. 

Essential Ingredients Required for this Sling!

  • 1 cup ice
  • 1 ½ fluid ounces gin
  • ½ fluid ounce cherry-flavored brandy
  • ¼ fluid ounce triple sec
  • ¼ fluid ounce Benedictine® liqueur
  • Four fluid ounces pineapple juice
  • ½ fluid ounce lime juice
  • ½ fluid ounce grenadine syrup
  • 1 cup ice
  • One slice of fresh pineapple
  • One maraschino cherry

Short Singapore Sling Recipe

  1. Gather all the ingredients in a tray
  2. Pour the gin, lime juice, cherry liqueur, and simple syrup into a Cocktail shaker filled with ice cubes.

  4. Pour it over a highball glass over fresh ice.
  5. Pour club soda over it.
  6. Garnish the edge of your glass with a lemon slice and cherry
  7. And lastly…………….ENJOY!!!!!!

Pro Tips to Help you!

  • The best options for a cherry liqueur, cherry brandy are known as kirsch and Cherry Heering.
  • If you like, you can float the cherry liquor on top by pouring it over the back of a bar spoon after adding the soda.
  • You can vary the sweetness of the simple syrup. The recipe’s 1/4-ounce pour should be good with a rich(2:1) simple syrup. When using a syrup made with equal parts of sugar and water, you may want to add a little more.

Popular Variations you Should Try!

  1. A few recipes from the 1930s used either claret or sloe gin to give the Singapore sling its signature color. With either, he recommends cutting back on the lime and Bénédictine, then adding more gin. 
  2. The Singapore Sling’s No. 1 recipe in Regan’s book is entirely different, and it also skips the pineapple. Instead, it has 2 ounces of gin, 1/2 ounce each of Bénédictine and kirsch, 3/4 ounces of lemon juice, and both orange and angostura bitters. As with most slings, it is topped with club soda.

But the difficulty with making the Singapore sling is that nearly every recipe is different. While many versions claim to be the “original” Raffles recipe, few agree on this famous cocktail’s formula or ingredients. To some extent, each version follows the classic gin sling formula of gin, citrus, sweetener, and soda. 

Cocktail historians have also found older recipes of this sling that are equally intriguing. No matter how you mix up the Singapore sling, it is a fascinating drink that is well worth your time to explore.

This Sling is popular among the New Generation and is Loved by the Old Generation too. You can comment down which drink makes you happy and which makes you sad? We can help you get the best drink! We are always there for you!
