Singapore Sling Cocktail
As the name suggests, the Singapore sling cocktail originates from Southeast Asia, where it was first developed. The drink offers multiple components in a light, aromatic serving that appears refined and is most suitable for a batch servings. Over the decades, the drink became one of the most recognisable tropical cocktails, not just for its geographical connection but for its structured complexity. Unlike other tropical cocktails that rely primarily on sweetness, the Singapore sling introduces more sour and local elements for balance.
