Singapore Sling - Is this better than the Raffles Hotel version?!
Jump to Connections
58,412 Views • Aug 2, 2023 • Click to toggle off description
This version varies greatly to the original one said to be served at the Raffles Hotel with the key difference being the exclusion of pineapple juice!

This is replaced with a fair measure of soda water and allows the spirits and liqueurs to shine and not be hidden away in a wave of sweet juice.

I suggest to try both versions and let me know your favourite! :)

INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 oz / 45 ml London dry gin
1/2 oz / 15 ml Herring cherry liqueur
1/4 oz / 7.5 ml Benedictine
3/4 oz / 22.5 ml lemon juice
1/4 oz / 7.5 ml grenadine
1 dash of Angostura bitters
1 dash of orange bitters
2 oz / 60 ml soda water

I have a soft spot for the pineapple version as when you take the time to balance it it’s still delicious; but yeah, this is probably “better”

I LOVE this drink. I usually make it with pineapple though. And I use way more angostura bitters :)

I'd love to see a full video with tasting notes. I've thought about replacing the demerara syrup with grenadine in the SC version

Recipes I've seen, and said were authentic, leaves out the grenadine...which does imbibe a flavoring I don't like. So it's more than just for coloring . And yes...take out the fizz .add the pineapple..but I guess you explained this is a diff version. I think another liq is missing. Maybe Countreu 🤔

I really want to try this cocktail since I'm Southeast Asian on both of my parents' sides. I wonder what they think of this cocktail.

Do you mix the two orange bitters in a 1:1 ratio in a separate bottle, Steve?

Just went to the raffles and the long bar feels like going to a theme park. Get your drink, get the photo, get out. Fun, but not sure it was worth $38/cocktail and $28/pint of Heineken.

I have heard the Raffles hotel is not the place to get this drink anymore, they charge a lot for it now and free pour it instead of measuring it out nicely. The end result? A sweet mixture of juice with no discerning tasting notes

not saying it’s a bad recipe, not saying you shouldn’t enjoy it or make it. I will say that whatever that is, it’s not a singapore sling, uve removed and then adjusted again the citrus of the drink whilst neglecting the acidic and bright complexity the pineapple and orange juice that are in the ACTUAL recipe. It’s also missing the triple sec that compliments the oj and takes the edge off of the darker heering flavours. It’s a riff on a sg sling, it may be delicious and still carry some of the principles of the original cocktail, but it’s not a singapore sling. That’s like calling a water lily an aviation.

Why would you add the soda water before straining? Straining it would just reduce the fizz.
