Singapore Sling Cocktail Recipe

Gin
Author: The Bar Team
Two Singapore Sling cocktails on a table, next to a copper cocktail shaker, jigger and a bowl of olives on a napkin.

The Singapore Sling is a bright, fruity classic that’s full of character and just a little bit indulgent. Made with gin, fruit juices and a blend of liqueurs, it’s sweet, slightly tangy and layered with flavour from start to finish. Its signature rosy colour and playful garnish make it instantly recognisable, while its lively mix of ingredients keeps every sip interesting. It’s the kind of cocktail that feels a bit special - perfect when you’re in the mood for something colourful and full of personality.
