I am looking for a signature cocktail that I can serve at various occasions in my home. I have been so curious about the Singapore Sling that I had to search down the original recipe. It was invented by a bartender by the name of Mr. Ngiam Tong Boon at the Raffles Hotel in Singapore. I think this is a very close version of his original recipe. Pineapples were on sale so I bought one and made my own juice. There is nothing like fresh juice. Of course, all I own are wine glasses!
The verdict...yummy but very sweet. It might not be versatile enough for a signature cocktail.
Singapore Sling
1 oz gin
1/2 oz cherry brandy
1/4 oz benedictine
1/4 oz cointreau
1/2 oz grenadine or pomegranate juice
3 oz pineapple juice
dash of angostura bitters
club soda
Shake all ingredients except the club soda with ice and strain into a sling glass filled with crushed ice. Fill with soda water. Garnish with a cherry.
1 oz gin

This would be perfect poolside :) Homemade pineapple juice, awesome!!! How did your cooking class go?
ReplyDeleteThat does look tempting even if it is sweet!
ReplyDeleteWell done! I think you did a good job on mixing the cocktail. :)
ReplyDeleteI think it looks great... I just don't make enough cocktails but I must say... my buddy at 12 bottle bar has so many inspiring things and I love the idea of having a house cocktail... like a bellini at cipriani's
ReplyDeleteI do think the Raffles hotel always sounded so exotic... you figure anything from there must be great
INTERESTING and delicious cocktail; this is one area that I never explored but I would love to taste this sweet and pretty colorful drink.
ReplyDeleteI prefer sweet. You can serve this for me any time!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a signature cocktail! This one is definitely a winner :)
