Singapore Sling

By Deli1

The Singapore Sling was a kind of proto-Tiki drink, and much like its offspring, it has a lengthy list of ingredients. But if you take the time to assemble what you need, you'll be rewarded with an herbal, sweet-tart, and refreshing cooler with a seductive red color. Enjoy one on those sultry summer nights when the humidity is so high that even sunset brings no relief.

Ingredients

• 2 ounces London Dry gin
• 2 ounces unsweetened pineapple juice
• 3/4 ounces fresh lime juice
• 3/4 ounces Cherry Heering
• 2 teaspoons Cointreau (1/3 ounce)
• 2 teaspoons Bénédictine (1/3 ounce)
• 1/4 ounce homemade grenadine (or best-quality)
• 2 to 4 dashes Angostura bitters, to taste
• Soda water

Preparation

Step 1

Fill a shaker with everything but the soda, add ice, and shake for a solid 5 seconds. Strain into a highball filled with ice, then top with soda water. Garnish with a lime peel.
