Shaken and Screwed this summer with Singapore Sling

Walking on the wide streets as clean as your drawing room, going through the market lanes, bargaining stuff, eating Chicken Nuggets at KFC, city so clean- city of Fines aha that’s Singapore.

 If in Singapore you have to try Singapore Sling which originated at Raffle’s Long Bar.



RAFFLES SINGAPORE



WITH FRIENDS AT LONG BAR



The Singapore Sling is a cocktail that was developed sometime before 1915 by Ngiam Tong Boon , a bartender working at the Long Bar in Raffles Hotel Singapore. The original recipe used gin, Cherry Heering, Bénédictine, and fresh pineapple juice, primarily from Sarawak(east Malaysia) pineapples which enhance the flavour and create a foamy top.

Recipe-

8 Parts Gin
4 Parts Heering Cherry Liqueur
1 Part Cointreau
1 Part Benedictine
2 Parts Grenadine
16 Parts Pineapple Juice
6 Parts Fresh Lemon Juice
1 Dash Angostura Bitters

Over a period of time the recipe has been Basterdised and changed due to difficulty in getting those special Pineapples from Sarawak which gave a foamy character to this Cocktail. But still it is an experience to have this at the Long Bar and its worth.



LONG BAR

Long Bar has a character to it. It is like an old English pub with lots of wood, swinging old fans and lots of peanuts around. Once you enter you will find gunny bags full of peanuts lying around.
