If You Love Cherry, Say Hello To Your New Favorite Drink
The Singapore Sling is a cherry lovers dream. While there are many variations of this recipe, I have always favored this one for it’s great taste and simplicity.
There’s Gin In My Juice Box
While the primary spirit of this drink is Gin, you won’t be able to identify it by the taste. The Singapore Sling is akin to an adult juice box. The Cherry Brandy and Grenadine combine to give a unique playful cherry fruit punch flavor. The sweet and sour mix serves to cut a bit of the syrupy sugar taste, so that sweetness is kept in check. That and the carbonated water mellows the drink and makes it easily eligible for 2 or 3 rounds on the right night, without making you feel like you’ve consumed the sugar equivalent of 3 bags of skittles. Singapore Sling, like most cocktails, will benefit from you use of fresh sweet and sour mix made with freshly squeezed lemon juice and simple syrup. You might be surprised at how bad store bought sweet and sour mixers taste in comparison to a freshly made version.
Kool-Aid With A Kick
The alcohol content of a Singapore Sling is not all that high. But this cocktail can still sneak up on you as there is very little alcohol taste. Additionally it may remind you of a fruit flavored drink that you guzzled down as a kid. This recipe contains carbonated water and as you may know fizzy drinks tend to get tipsy faster than non-carbonated drinks. I thought this would be the perfect drink to serve at my wife’s candle selling party. To my surprise after a couple of hours I was serving a lot of coffee trying to sober those women up.
