This is what you've been waiting for. What you can't miss in Singapore. The Singapore Sling, Need I say More? |
Yes, a Singapore Sling can make you poetic. I had my first one, for free, on board Singapore Airlines and I was not all that impressed, but then, what can you expect, it was small, premixed and tasted somewhat like a raspberry Life Saver. Tried one again during the Harbour Cruise and for S$8.50 it was much better. ![]() Then, one day, I went to the Long Bar at the Raffles Hotel and ordered the REAL ONE. It was a big drink and set me back S$19,80!! On the tables are big boxes with peanuts and one is encouraged to throw the shells on the floor. A cure for the frustrations of not being able to litter? It was quite dark inside the bar and the tape I made there did not come out too well. With that as an excuse, I had to come back another day to have a Sling outside and rerecord what it looked like. ![]() For any mixmasters amongst you, here follows the Recipe. In the decimal system by the way. Remember the British. 30 ml 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 Garnish with a slice of Pineapple and a Cherry
