How To Make a Singapore Sling
Hi I’m Damian one of the Bartender over at Liquid Kitty in West LA California and we’re gonna talk a little bit about the Singapore Sling.
It’s a, interesting drink because supposedly develop in 1915 in Raffles Hotel in Singapore by a Chinese bartender whose name I can’t pronounce that’s the folklore about it, nobody really knows if that’s true or not or where it came from but it’s basically a base drink with a lot sweeteners on it, rest of the folklore goes to that there’s no two recipes are the same and so at the Kitty came up with the recipe that supposedly the original recipe but it’s tough to say because you go in any bars restaurant and you never gonna be the same to drinks but they will be similar in that Gin, Lime Juice, and cherry brandy which is the three main ingredients, we start with Napoli Grande Glass, which is the closest thing we have to Hurricane glass, we’ll fill that with ice, today will be using the Beefeater Gin, about two and a half ounce of Beefeater five count depending on where you at, Cherry Brandy will be the second ingredient which is even about an ounce and a half with cherry brandy, Cointreau which is an orange base liquor and Benedictine which is an old monk recipe liquor a little less than an ounce, Grenadine just a splash of color couple dashes of bitters and i’m gonna put some fresh squeeze limes in there, it’s about half a lime i’ll cut the line in half cut it in a smaller parts to a takee it easier to squeeze, we’ll finish it of with pineapple juice and i’ll shake the whole thing up, mix it up and then garnish it with the cherry and a large straw and that’s you traditional Singapore Sling, it’s close that I can get to the original recipe.

I found out about this drink when I read a Jim Morrison Bio. After I got older and tried it, I loved it. Sadly, I soon found most bartenders are rarely asked to make it and often don’t have all the alcohols needed, but it’s nice when they do.

Ngiam Tong Boon, my grandfather's grandfather. It is true that he worked at the Long Bar and creates the drink. I have tried many different variations of the Sling, and yes I can confirm that there are no 2 same drinks as the Gin used is usually different. The recipe in this video is much stronger. But that's the beauty of it; the drink is versatile

You didn't mention that he died in 1915. Is that not true ? If so, then the cocktail was obviously created long before then.

[@billy.7113]

Your version was stronger than the original one for ladies. 👍

[@thegoodcouncillicios]

[@revolution51]

I can't remember how they tasted, but they must have been really good.
In the 70's, it was one on our list to have when at the bars.

[@RR-ji6bo]

[@brianbranson2306]

yould have to ask what kinds of booz would have been on the shelf in singapore at that time period.

[@samsnodgrass7878]

No Peter Herring cherry liqueur

[@marjovishe814]

U have to use jigger brother

[@gateway833]

Indeed

[@retireorbust]

I thought it had a lot of pineapple.

[@robertnuno-luevano5829]

this is a drink that has to measured out to be well balanced otherwise its going to taste like trash like this one

[@Harlin67]

Unless of course you have been a barman\woman for donkeys years and can guess to an accurate standard the amounts. I worked in a bar for a year, and knowing what 25ml is is easy once you done it 100 times a night.

[@20alphabet]

Never trust a gin drinker .

Lololol
