Classic Cocktail of the Month: Singapore Sling


We are starting off our Classic Cocktail of the Month series with a well known drink from our Southeast Asian neighbor. The Singapore Sling which was developed around 1915 by a bartender named Ngiam Tong Boon who was working at the Long Bar at the iconic Raffles Hotel. Known for its fruity and juice looking presentation, the Singapore Sling is not to be taken lightly as it is made with gin, cherry liqueur, cointreau, and Bénédictine. Here’s how to recreate it at home.


Outside the Long Bar

Ingredients:

  • 4 ounces pineapple juice

  • ½ ounce lime juice

  • ⅓ ounce grenadine

  • 1 ½ ounces gin

  • ½ ounce cherry liqueur

  • ¼ ounce cointreau

  • ¼ ounce Bénédictine

  • 1 dash of bitters

  • A cherry for garnish

  • A pineapple slice for garnish


Directions:

  1. Pour all the ingredients into a cocktail shaker with some ice.

  2. Shake until all ingredients are combined and chilled.

  3. Use a strain when pouring into a tall glass.

  4. Add a cherry and pineapple slice onto a small skewer and place it on the rim to garnish. (You may also use an orange slice if pineapple is not available.)
