Sweet, rich cherry brandy cut through by zesty citrus and finished with delicious gin botanicals: the Singapore Sling is one of the great cocktails, although arguments over its exact recipe exist.

- 25ml Gordon's® London Dry Gin
- 25ml Cherry Brandy
- 5ml Benedictine
- 25ml Lemon Juice (or Pineapple Juice)
- 10ml Grenadine
Note
Sweet, rich cherry brandy cut through by zesty citrus and finished with delicious gin botanicals: the Singapore Sling is one of the great cocktails, although arguments over its exact recipe exist. The recipe used here is based on Harry Craddock’s 1930’s The Savoy Cocktail Book, a combination of his Singapore Sling and ‘Straits Sling’ that is likely to be closest to how the original version shaped up, taken from contemporary accounts of the cocktail.
Directions
| Step 1 | Using a jigger, measure 25ml of Gordon's London Dry Gin, 25ml cherry brandy, 5ml of benedictine, 25ml of lemon juice or pineapple juice and 10ml of grenadine into a cocktail shaker along with a couple of ice cubes. |
| Step 2 | Shake the mixture vigorously until the surface of the cocktail shaker feels chilled. |
| Step 3 | Strain into a tall glass filled with ice cubes. |
| Step 4 | Garnish with fresh pineapple and a cherry. |
| Step 5 | NB: 1.9 units of alcohol per serving. |
