Hi David this is a lovely drink. I have made it many times to this recipe. It was my younger daughter’s favourite for a long time before the Alba Rosso became her favourite. The Singapore Sling is lovely, it just takes a while to make, that in itself builds the thirst and appreciation! A summer drink if ever there was one. Nick from York
Great facts. I’ve seen the machine that was created to shake multiple Singapore Slings at a time. Super fun to watch. I think we all have Benedictine sitting around. Good time to put it to use. Cheers Dave!
I recently went to the long bar on vacation and had 2 of these. Two will cost you $92 singapore dollars after tax and service charges, ($68 usd) but it was worth it. You get all the free peanuts you can eat and just throw the shells on the floor.
I liked this drink a lot (8/10). I had Tuanqueray dry gin but otherwise the same ingredients as you / the recipe. Well, my grenadine was home made. Just now I came to think of making this and swapping the gin for some nice rum...
@@boozeontherockshey buddy , just letting you know , turned out great , me and the wife had two each . Not as sweet as I expected it to be , more on the tart side . Was really nice , will definitely be having them again . Was well worth the try . Perfect summer drink … Next time I will try with the proper Cointreau , only had triple sec
Hey thanks for this! I am wondering, what's the exact name and model of that glass so one can get that perfect size that seems to fit that drink perfectly? Did you get it on Amazon?
I got this before I started my Channel from a Restuarant supply store however it is 16 oz/480 ml. They are hard to fing but here is a link to a similar size and shape that would work for what you want amzn.to/44sBw6T
@@boozeontherocks So a Libby Hurricane glass of 16 ounces would be perfect? What is odd, is the recipe you used, which is more or less the same as done at the Raffles Hotel in Singapore, I looked on their website where they sell their glass. They claim the glass is 380 ml, which is under 13 ounces. That can't be right.
@@Acujeremy That is a good question comparrison. One of the things you need to look at is the amount of ice in the glass. I.e. the shape and size. Smaller cut ice will take up more space, larger ice will ake up less space.
@@boozeontherocks But can't we say no matter what type of ice, if the bar is shaking this drink over ice and straining into a glass over ice, there is no way the glass can be under 14 or 15 ounces?
Hi Dave! This isn't a go for me - I have never liked this cocktail - but I know many people who do like it! I think for me it's too sweet. I like more herbaceous, dry cocktails, much less sweet, and my passion are the stirred classics - but I am going to pass this video on to a friend who loves this cocktail! Happy Friday!! 🙂
That is like the original and it's good but there's way more pineapple than necessary. You still get all the flavors but the balance is better... for me. It tastes more like a cocktail than fruit punch 1-1/2 Gin 1 Pineapple Juice 1/2 Lime Juice 1/4 Heering Cherry 1/4 Benedictine 1/4 Clémont Creole Schrubb 1/4 Grenedine Dash Fee Bros Orange Bitters Top with Seltzer. It tastes better and more refreshing diluted so it's not so syrupy.
I remember trying this for the first time back in the 90s and it has been my favorite ever since. But I will say it does have many variations depending on the bartender. Yours looks delicious.
@@jimklemens5018 I'll try with half next time, sure, I'm open for trying new things. That said, I still consider the 4Oz version one of my favourite cocktails out there.
TGIF Cocktail!! On of my favorite cocktail. Happy Weekend and Cheers!!
Happy weekend, this is a great cocktail.

Hi Nick, it is a fun one for sure, but its worth the wait,
Hey, one of my favourite drinks! Have a great weekend.
Thank you! You too!

That machine is so cool. And this is a great drink too. I hope you like it,.
love the story. Sounds like a great drink. I can't ever remember trying one. may have to make one for my wife and myself. thanks and cheers. 🥃
Your welcome. Its really good

It is a really good one for sure.
Crowd pleasing drink right there.
That it is :)

Rum would be an interesting change. I think it would work really well.
Just need some cherry liquor and some DOM Benedictine . Will definitely be trying this out this summer
I hope you like it, let me know how it turns out for you.

Happy Friday Christine. I hope your freind likes it.
@@boozeontherocks They will love it!!
One of my absolute favorite cocktails, but bartenders always give me a stink eye when ordering one lol
Its a great cocktail dor sure.
It isn’t Dom Benedictine.
It is Benedictine.
D.O.M. is and abbreviation for Deo Optimo Maximo.
I sure drank a lot of those in my misspent youth in the military....50 cents on Tuesday nights at the club...
That is definitely a good Tuesday Night.
That is like the original and it's good but there's way more pineapple than necessary.
You still get all the flavors but the balance is better... for me.
It tastes more like a cocktail than fruit punch
1-1/2 Gin
1 Pineapple Juice
1/2 Lime Juice
1/4 Heering Cherry
1/4 Benedictine
1/4 Clémont Creole Schrubb
1/4 Grenedine
Dash Fee Bros Orange Bitters
Top with Seltzer. It tastes better and more refreshing diluted so it's not so syrupy.
That does look like a great recipe.
@@boozeontherocks : If you ever try it let, me know what you think. Cheers.

Thank you very much. It is one that I enjoy. What specs do you prefer?
The one that’s served at the raffles hotel is pre mixed shit
The original was good.
Next try making “Grandma’s lesbian lover”
Interesting....
Way too much pineapple juice.
It should be around 1.5 to 2 ounces.
120ml is the amount used by the official Raffles YT channel. The birthplace of the drink.
@Slaraffus2750 Yes, I know that the Raffles recipe calls for 4 ounces of pineapple, but it isn't balanced.
Try it with less pineapple juice.
@@jimklemens5018 I'll try with half next time, sure, I'm open for trying new things.
That said, I still consider the 4Oz version one of my favourite cocktails out there.
That is interesting, I will have to test that out.
