Non-Alcoholic Singapore Sling Recipe
A Singapore Sling is a gin-based cocktail which has been around for more than a century. It was created by a Hainanese bartender by the name of Ngiam Tong Boon who worked at Raffles Hotel’s Long bar.
It was first known as a gin sling before the newer name stuck. Recipes for Singapore Sling vary but you can rustle up a good one by combining 2 parts of gin with 1 each of cherry brandy, pineapple, lime and orange juice. For the best result, use fresh juices where possible.
A lazy way to make it is to combine gin with bottled sweet and sour and a dash of grenadine, and that was popular in the 1980s, but no, of course that isn’t as good, and these days we’re slowly returning to the ‘fresh is best’ policy concerning fruits and veggies. Even the cocktails, or ‘mocktails’ in our recipe.
