Singapore sling
This long, fruity, gin-based cocktail was invented at the Raffles Hotel in Singapore by a barman called Ngiam Tong Boon. It’s super simple to make at home once you have all the ingredients.

Ingredients
- 40ml/1â…“fl oz gin
- 25ml/1fl oz freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice
- 80ml/3fl oz pineapple juice
- 10ml cherry brandy
- 10ml grenadine
- 5ml Bénédictine
- 5ml orange liqueur (such as triple sec)
- dash Angostura bitters
- 2 handfuls ice
- soda water
- lemon slices, to garnish (optional)
Method
Add all the ingredients except the soda water and lemon slices to a cocktail shaker. Make sure it’s filled with ice then shake to combine everything.
Fill a collins glass with fresh ice and strain the mixture into it using a hawthorne cocktail strainer and a fine mesh strainer. If you don’t have a strainer, any kitchen sieve will work just as well.
Top with the soda water to taste and stir gently, then garnish with a lemon slice if using.
