014. Singapore Sling

Around this time last year, I was on a Singapore Airlines flight going back home from Hong Kong. Needless to say, I did not want to leave so I drank my troubles away. On the plane ride back, I was reading the in-flight menu and saw they had cocktails. There was one that caught my eye which I decided to try; the Singapore Sling. I figured it would end up being some pre-mixed stuff, being on a plane and all. Totally wrong! Made fresh, this drink was DELICIOUS! Fast forward a year later and I finally get around to attempt to make this cocktail because every bar/pub/club I had been to since my trip from Hong Kong, I was unable to find the Singapore Sling ANYWHERE so I decided I'd have a go at making it. My first attempt, I put in a little less than the recipe says, I didn't want all the alcohol in it to be too overpowering. Because you can't really buy the ingredients in smaller bottles, I had to buy the 700ml ones and so I think I have enough alcohol to last me another year! My first attempt at making this, I was very pleasantly surprised and have made them a few more times since. Do try it, it is amazing!
