Singapore Sling cocktail made with Liber & Co. syrup

Singapore Sling

Created at the Long Bar of the Raffles Hotel in Singapore in the early 1900s, the Singapore Sling is a fruity, complex gin highball. Recipes vary wildly, but this balanced version with real grenadine is a crowd-pleaser.

Grenadine
