This is a riff on the Ur-Tiki, the
Singapore Sling, but with chocolate in place of cherry and ginger beer instead of plain soda. I’m a big fan of long drinks with lime and ginger beer—especially with Fever Tree ginger beer. Never thought I’d be able to say this of a product:
it has that bright, sharp, clean ginger flavor for perfect highballs every time.
The Golden Hind- 2 oz gin (Tanqueray)
- 3/4 oz oz crème de cacao (Joseph Cartron brun)
- 1/2 oz cognac (Courvoisier VS)
- 1/2 oz Bénédictine
- 1 oz lime juice
- 1 1/2 oz ginger beer (Fever Tree)
Shake all but ginger beer with ice cubes and strain into a tall glass. Top with ginger beer and add fresh ice. Garnish with cherry sprinkled with a bit of coarse sea salt. (Named for the
Golden Hind.)

I imagine this is an original? This thing looks truly interesting.
ReplyDeleteYeah, altering a Singapore Sling in this way is my own idea. (If I borrow something, I’ll make some reference in the body of the post or the named source, depending on how much was borrowed.) I had a lot of fun doing this one.
ReplyDeleteI will file this under "Things To Do With Ginger Beer."
