Sydney Sling Recipe

Ingredients

1. 45ml gin -The Fullerton Hotel Sydney uses Four Pillars 58.8 Gin
2. 45ml blood orange juice – grapefruit juice is a great substitute 
3. 15ml hibiscus liqueur – elderflower Liqueur is a great substitute 
4. 10ml ginger liqueur – alternatively, double up on ginger juice
5. 25ml fresh lime juice 
6. 10ml fresh ginger juice
7. 10ml Grenadine
8. 20ml sugar syrup – see recipe below
9. 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: 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.
