LEGENDARY Singapore Sling Highball - Catamaran Cocktails explores the muddled history and variations

Make along with us our condensed spin on the very mysterious, dance party-inducing Singapore Sling. The drink was so good that we actually forgot to end the video, ha. Ooops. Those fancy 1920's ladies were definitely on to something!!!! The original recipe was created in 1915 at the Long Bar at The Raffles Hotel, Singapore. You can still order one today. It contains gin, cherry liqueur, Cointreau, DOM Benedictine, grenadine, pineapple juice, lime juice, angostura bitters, shaken, no ice. We kept it simple with (this is one serving- sip it slow...you've been warned!) 1 and 1/2 shots gin 1/2 shot cherry brandy 1/2 shot Drambuie (because we couldn't find Benedictine on Grenada) a couple dashes of angostura bitters and a couple more of orange bitters- we really like The Bitter Truth brand...especially the orange- it's very versatile, making it a great bar addition. We went for a a couple big square ice cubes, topped with soda water and some maraschino cherries. Thank you to the Culture Trip blog for the entertaining history lesson, that's where Lauren was reading from at the beginning of the video.
