Which cocktail traditionally uses pineapple juice, lime juice and raspberry syrup with gin?
Answer
Singapore Sling
Answer
Singapore Sling
The Singapore Sling traditionally uses pineapple juice, lime juice and raspberry syrup with gin.
The drink is associated with Raffles Hotel in Singapore and is commonly linked to bartender Ngiam Tong Boon. Its familiar recipe combines gin with cherry liqueur, Benedictine, Cointreau, pineapple juice, lime juice, grenadine and bitters, although historical and modern formulas differ.
Pineapple juice gives the cocktail its tropical sweetness and helps create a frothy surface when the drink is shaken. Raspberry syrup or grenadine may appear in different recipe traditions, which is one reason published versions are not completely uniform.
This question focuses on the drink’s fruit-and-gin structure rather than its origin. It should not be confused with a generic sling, a wider category of spirit drinks that predates the Singapore version.
