Singapore Swing Cocktail

The world-famous Singapore Sling is the emblematic cocktail of the Long Bar at Raffles Singapore hotel. Clément Emery, our talented mixologist at Royal Monceau - Raffles Paris, gives this signature drink a contemporary twist with exotic flavours.

By steeping pandan leaves in gin, the spirit is infused with hints of hazelnut and vanilla. Meanwhile, citric acid and bitters serve to counter the sweetness of artisanal pineapple soda. The Singapore Swing is easy to make, but be sure to use top-quality ingredients. For your next party, impress family and friends with this elegant cocktail!
