Singapore Sling

Singapore Sling
5 mins preparation,

Create in the early 1900s at the Raffles Hotel, Singapore, the Singapore Sling is delightfully fruity, sweet and sour. It’s also somewhat fiddly to make, which is probably why, sadly, Raffles now bangs them out pre-mixed. But if you take the time to make it properly, this little ray of cocktail sunshine will reward the effort.
