Cocktail shakers at the ready: The Fullerton Hotel Sydney has shared the recipe for its signature cocktail, the Sydney Sling.

The Sydney Sling is a nod to The Fullerton Hotel Sydney’s Singaporean roots, The Fullerton Hotels and Resorts, which also owns and operates two award-winning hotels in Singapore, The Fullerton Hotel Singapore and The Fullerton Bay Hotel Singapore.

Both hotels feature their own signature Singapore Sling cocktail – Sydney’s being a sweet and spicy take on the classic.

With most of our favourite hotel bars closed due to social distancing and group size limits for the foreseeable future, the ultimate happy hour tipple is now available from home, thanks to the folks at Fullerton Sydney.

Here’s how to make one yourself:

Ingredients

  • 45ml gin – The Fullerton Hotel Sydney uses Four Pillars 58.8 Gin
  • 45ml blood orange juice – grapefruit juice is a great substitute
  • 15ml hibiscus liqueur – elderflower Liqueur is a great substitute
  • 10ml ginger liqueur – alternatively, double up on ginger juice
  • 25ml fresh lime juice
  • 10ml fresh ginger juice
  • 10ml Grenadine
  • 20ml sugar syrup – see recipe below
  • Dehydrated ginger slice – or any fruit of your choice, to garnish.

Method

  1. Combine all ingredients and shake together vigorously for five seconds
  2. Strain into your desired glass over ice and enjoy.

Sugar syrup recipe

Making sugar syrup requires equal parts sugar and water. You can also make a thicker style syrup by adding two parts sugar to one-part water.

  1. Boil the water in a saucepan, add the sugar and stir until it dissolves
  2. Remove from heat and allow to cool
  3. Store in a firmly sealed bottle or container in the fridge where it can keep for a few weeks.
