Cocktail of the week with Fabrizio Musorella

Singapore sling
A sling can be traced back to 1759. There are numerous recipes for slings so that even the oldest and most trusted sources do not agree on a single formula. The Singapore Sling was created at the Raffles Hotel in late 1915 by bartender Ngiam Tong Boon. It was originally meant as a woman’s drink, hence the attractive pink colour. By 1930 this long and exotic cocktail had arrived in Europe and the United States and in the process the recipe changed to just gin, cherry brandy, fresh lemon juice and soda, the most common recipe found in bars today.

2cl cherry brandy

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
