Whipped up some delicious Singapore slings yesterday! I used a recipe from The Educated Barfly, but instead of adding soda water, I just shook and carbonated the whole thing.
1.5oz (45ml) Gin London Dry
.25oz (7.5ml) Cherry Heering
.25oz (7.5ml) Benedictine
.25oz (7.5ml) Cointreau
1oz (30ml) Lime Juice
.25oz (7.5ml) Grenadine
.75oz (20ml) Pineapple Juice
1 dash Angostura
Soda Water [top]
It's sweet, but I think pretty balanced. Kinda tastes like a delicious melted sno-cone, but that might just be my association with cherry heering.
For Friday Synch & to continue dry July - a jalapeno/black pepper limeade. Fresh limes from the tree, simple syrup, ice and half a jalapeno (also homegrown), few black peppercorns, pinch of salt, water to cover, all in the blender then taste, adjust, blend again & strain over ice.
Fancy variations of sweet & sour drinks are by far my favorite non alcoholic flavored drinks. Excluding coffee of course.
