30ml Lillet Blanc
15ml Curacao (triple sec)
15ml Grenadine Syrup
120ml Vervain Tea (chilled) – Mint Tea also works well here!

2. Singapore Sling
40ml Gin
20ml cherry heering (cherry Brandy will suffice)
5ml Cointreau
5ml Benedictine
10ml Grenadine
80ml Pineapple Juice
30ml Lemon Juice
1-2 dashes angostura bitters
This drink is a bit of a legend. The above recipe is, as far as I know, the original. Any Singapore sling recipe without Benedictine is wrong. With that in mind, you can (if you do not have any at home) substitute it with 5ml of any other orange liqueur; Grand Marnier is a good call, so is mandarin napoleon, but adding another 5ml of Cointreau is acceptable.
Shake all the ingredients and strain into an ice-filled hurricane glass. Garnish with a pineapple chunk and maraschino cherry.
1.Vesper
60ml Gordons Gin
20ml Stolichnaya Vodka
10ml Lillet Blanc
Stir* all the ingredients over ice and strain into a martini glass, garnishing with a lemon-peel twirl.
*for a more 007-esque experience you can shake this cocktail, but as most bartenders know; shaking a drink like this will dilute it and thus weaken the drink’s flavours… Stirring the drink cools the alcohol just the same, but does not dilute the drink as much…
