Why is the Singapore Sling famous?<\/span><\/h2>\n

First crafted by Long Bar bartender Ngiam Tong Boon in 1915, the Singapore Sling looks like your average cup of fruit juice, with its fruity additions and pinkish hue. Yet, it\u2019s this rosy appearance that makes this cocktail an icon of its time. In the early 20th century, society\u2019s norms dictated that it was inappropriate for women to drink alcohol in public. To ensure women got their fair share of booze, Ngiam added cherry brandy, grenadine and clear liquor to his concoction to hide its alcoholic nature. Little did he know that these Singapore Sling ingredients would end up forming the foundations of the popular Singapore cocktail. By giving it an appearance that could easily blend in with fruit juices, the Singapore Sling ended up becoming a massive hit!<\/span><\/p>\n

Gin plays a crucial role in driving home the bittersweet flavour present in the Singapore Sling recipe. Choosing the right one can make all the difference in your enjoyment of the classic Singapore cocktail! Of the various <\/span>liquors and spirits<\/span><\/a> available, <\/span>London Dry gin<\/span><\/a> would complement the rest of the Singapore Sling ingredients best thanks to its robust juniper content. This ultimately gives the gin cocktail its bright citrus kick which fans know and love! <\/span><\/p>\n

As for specific brand recommendations do give <\/span>Tanqueray London Dry Gin<\/span><\/a> (available on <\/span>The Liquor Shop<\/span><\/a>) a try. As the perfect mix of botanicals like liquorice and angelica alongside juniper berries, Tanqueray is the bartender\u2019s choice for gin cocktails! Alternatively, if you\u2019re more of a by-the-recipe person, heed the original Singapore Sling recipe and choose <\/span>Gordon\u2019s London Dry Gin<\/span><\/a> (available on <\/span>Johnnie Walker Official Store<\/span><\/a>) instead.<\/span><\/p>\n
