How to Prepare A Singapore Sling

The Singapore sling is a cocktail that was created by Mr. Ngiam Tong Boon for the Raffles Hotel in Singapore sometime in the early 1900's. He was a Hainanese-Chinese bartender that worked for the hotel.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 0ml Gin
• 15 ml Cherry Brandy
• 120 ml Pineapple Juice
• 15 ml Lime Juice
• 7.5 ml Cointreau
• 7.5 ml Dom Benedictine
• 10 ml Grenadine
• A Dash of Angostura Bitters

1. There are many variations on the cocktail so if you have tried one before and then try one at a different place, they may taste nothing the same.
   
   I found a recipe that is right from the Raffles Hotel in Singapore. Although it said that the recipe was written down by the memory of bartenders from that time with some notes that they were able to find. Since the original was lost, this is still the one closest to the real thing.

2. Mr. Ngiam Tong Boon originally created the Singapore sling as a woman cocktail, and make it pink in color, but it is enjoyed by all these days.

3. Mix all the above ingredients together.
   Garnish with a slice of Pineapple and Cherry.
   Enjoy!

on 5/14/2009 Too bad I haven't tasted Singapore sling on my 2 visits to Singapore. Perhaps I'll just recreate my Singapore memories by drinking the sling. Thanks for this 5*
