Sipping Authentic Singapore Sling on Singapore Flyer

| |
Hi Huneybees,


Last week, Valentine and I, as well as some other bloggers were invited up on the Singapore Flyer capsule to learn how to make our very own Singapore Sling with the authentic receipe, while "sipping" up the beautiful night view of Marina Bay.

Hehehehe. Choose from 4 designs of the Singapore Flyer ticket.
 History of Singapore Sling


Mr Ngiam Tong Boon (Credits to http://www.sammyboy.com/index.php)
Synonymous to Singapore and one of the nation's best-known cocktails, Singapore Sling was originally developed in 1915 by Ngiam Tong Boon, a Hainanese bartender. Since then, the original 1915 recipe of the Singapore sling, using gin, cherry brandy, fresh pineapple juice and other ingredients, endorsed by Mr Ngiam is kept by Association of Bartenders & Sommeliers Singapore (ABSS) and can now you can find it at the Flyer Lounge.

This is the special themed sky bar capsule
Enjoy Singapore's favourite cocktail on the iconic wheel

At S$69 nett per individual, guests get to enjoy a 30-minute treat in a special-themed capsule while enjoying the nation's all-time classic cocktail, the Singapore Sling.

Possibly the most perfect version of the Singapore Sling - after years of tasting and experimenting by the association - taste how this cocktail stunner is carefully mixed and freshly hand-shaken to perfection onboard the Flyer's Singapore Sling flight. While confortably nestled in your sky bar capsule, the iconic drink complements the charming views of Singapore's cityscape as you ascend to the top. Similar to how the drink is synonymous to being the nation's cocktail; see how Singapore flyer is an icon of Singapore as it offers you a bird's eye view of a once kampong fishing village, transcending in time to a modern cosmopolitan city.

Capsule so beautiful! I wana stay here all night already.
We were given a demonstration on how to do the Singapore Sling, before we proceeded to make our own versions. Singapore Sling is very fruity and you hardly taste the alcohol...
