Hello lovely people of Drinks Tube Mr Oliver here I hope you're well it's a
fine day today
the hat is on so I'm happy we're going to be making a Singapore Sling
yes we are absolute classic classic drink
cocktail from Raffles Hotel in Singapore
from the turn of the century and basically 1920s, 30s and 40s
this cocktail kinda changed everything so for me being an Essex boy it's kinda
really posh
punch in a long glass with attitude I love it
there's a few ingredients so let's get in the story right here
we've got some lime we got some pineapple juice
we've got some grenadine which is the lovely pomegranate syrup we got the
triple sec
we've got a lovely herbal liqueur gorgeous we've got some cherry brandy
some gin and some soda water so there's a few ingredients here
so let's do the recipe first up about 20 mls of lime
give it a little roll up to get those juices going, 20 mls
we're after perfect okay so we got 20 mls
from our one lime so that's the acidity the freshness
then let start adding the sweet elements to balance that out so two teaspoons
which is about 10 mls of grenadine and there's that classic color
d'you know what I mean and you're gonna get that from the cherry brandy and from the grenadine
we're gonna go in with 2 teaspoons of triple sec
which I love very fresh and then 2 teaspoons
of a beautiful herbal liqueur and these herbal liqueurs you get all sorts of different ones
around the world and they really are different in flavour
then we gonna go in with the cherry brandy 2 teaspoons again
then on to the beautiful gin
so I want 35 mls of our gin which is basically
1 and a half of these bad boys so it's the gin
that makes this lovely cocktail a gin sling now according to Noel Coward
you know basically the Singapore sling was a gin sling
which was just topped up with little bit of herbal
liqueur and the cherry brandy let's do the next bit which is very exciting
50 mils
of beautiful pineapple juice and then loads of ice
there we go, pour this on
and then we'll have a little shake up
okay so this is a beautiful long glass this is the hurricane glass which
I love, top it up with ice
lovely refreshing drink exciting something a bit different
fruity you can double sieve it and that just takes
the little extra ice sort of flakes out and then what we want to do
it's just top that up with just a little bit of soda water
just a little like that give it a little
move around and then garnish time guys
it's quite a pimpy garnish so have fun with it
do what you like I'm just gonna hit up some orange and
cherry but just get on the side and then tell you what I like to do I like to
get one of these
little leaves off the pineapple
lets get that on there like that so I'm just trying
to be creative I mean it is quite a bonkers garnish in my opinion
so there you go guys that is the Singapore Sling, just a little
disco straw and yeah I'm sure you could serve it up slightly more classical
but that's the way that I do it in Essex
delicious really refreshing a nice little celebration
of different liqueurs and spirits and fruit juices
that is definitely
a cocktail for the summer and to put a smile on people's faces
so I hope you like that and if you do like that give us a thumbs up and if you haven't
