Singapore Sling

Listen Later

Originating in Singapore (go figure) at the Raffles Hotel around 1915, this

sling is a great refuge on a hot day in the tropics. The recipe I'm using
is from the Death & Company book, and it seems to be based on the original
or as close to the original version as we can get. Read the history pieces
linked below for more on that.

  • 1 1/2 ounce London dry gin
  • 1/2 ounce Cherry Heering
  • 1/4 ounce Cointreau
  • 1/4 ounce Benedictine
  • 2 ounces pineapple juice
  • 1/2 ounce lime juice
  • 1/2 ounce grenadine
  • 1 dash of Angostura bitters

    • Put all the ingredients in a shaker. Add just a couple of ice cubes and

    give it a shake for only 5-10 seconds. Pour into a glass over ice. Garnish
    with a cherry and, if you have it, pineapple.
