A Spontaneous Libation for your Consideration

Raffles Singapore Sling

Posted by tophat665. Created by Ngiam Tong Boon, Long Bar, Raffles Hotel, Singapore.
1 1⁄2 oz Gin
1⁄2 oz Cherry Liqueur, Cherry Heering
1⁄4 oz Triple sec, Cointreau
1⁄4 oz Bénédictine
4 oz Pineapple juice
1⁄2 oz Lime juice
2 t Grenadine
1 ds Bitters, Angostura
1 Maraschino cherry (as garnish)
1 wdg Pineapple (as garnish)
Instructions

Shake vigorously with ice to build a nice head of foam. Strain into an ice filled Collins glass. Garnish with a maraschino cherry and a chunk of pineapple.

Notes

Originally served without garnish. An orange twist is also optional.
Can be strained into a highball and topped with soda. Lemon Juice can be substituted for lime, and any aromatic bitters for Angostura.

History

A Variant of the gin sling. My research suggests that this is as likely as any to be the original, authentic recipe, and more likely than most. Embury avows he's never seen two recipes alike for this drink. 1915 is one of several years in which this might have been created, between 1912 and 1921, but seems likely.

Murray Stenson needs our help

Murray Stenson

Murray Stenson, Seattle's well-known and highly-regarded bartender (Zig Zag Café, Canon, 2010 "American Bartender of the Year") has a heart condition that will require an expensive surgery to allow him to return to work. Like many bartenders, he lacks health insurance. While we have not had the pleasure of visiting Murray in Seattle, we have certainly enjoyed some of his recipes and have heard tales of his hospitality.

    Glad you like the drink! The menu reference is for me to remember, it's my home menu not an actual bar menu.

    Curated to Cocchi Americano Rosa so that typo "Cocci americano rose" can be deleted.
