You are absolutely correct.

I had one of these for my first time with my dad in singapore in raffles hotel...Im 15 singapore was awesome

Bravo, sir! Truly an artist of the trade! Cheers!

I'm curious to know what ever happened to this guy. It's been 14 years since his videos. Does Chris still bartend or is he still around?

I wonder this as well. I am just thankful that his wisdom is here recorded for us to learn from. Hope he is well. Wherever he may be.

What a great drink, great video. Thanks for the recipe.

This man is a treasure.

As mentioned a sling is a colins with a liqueor added. In most books the singapoore sling is just gin, cherry heering, simple sirup, lemon juice and soda. The drink variasion made here is refered in all my books as the raffles singapoore sling. I always ask my customers wich cersion they want as they are quite different.

Pretty good ! Thanks

proud to be singaporean!

This is a GREAT recipe!!! Thanks so much! I was wondering if you could make a video on another tropical drink, the MAI TAI!!!

this is a floated drink when you look it up in cheap or really old books.... the normal GOOD recipie is this one, some times replacing pineapple for orange juice but is is pretty mcuh like this one...

Right when he said "Dale Degroff" I rushed to my copy of Craft of the Cocktail to read the recipe

Looks gooood

Would you post some of these recipes you show? like this updated Singapore Sling...thanks :D

Garnish with a "flag", which is half an orange slice and a cherry.

YUM!

@capt700 Well you can make it with cherry brandy, but it won't be the same as the Cherry Heering! Like Chris said they is no substitute for the Heering, it is great stuff!

@afterapplepicking It is famous due to the customers at the hotel which was frequented by foreigners at the time.

For Cherry Heering, BevMo carries it, but I found it cheaper here in Japan at a place called Liquor Mountain in Kyoto. It ended up costing me about $18 as opposed to $24. w00t!

I just got a Raffles Hotel (original glass) for X-mass!! I feel like I just went through a time-warp.

My local liquor store does not carry Benedictine. Any substitutes?

The Raffles Hotel defaults to Gordon's Gin and uses Bols Grenadine. All the other ingredients are the same. Problem: they serve it pre-mixed, plus the drink I tried was very heavy on the grenadine. Made for a pretty pinkish-red color, but it had an overwhelming grenadine taste.

If you can't get fresh pineapple juice, what's the best store brand to use? I tried Dole in a can and it made the drink too sweet for most people I know.

My favorite drink! I love these videos, although this particular recipe is not my favorite, but if I wanted something milder than what I'm used to, it's still good (I'm having it right now)! My fav recipe is: 2 oz gin 3/4 oz Cherry Heering 1/2 oz Benedectine 1/4 oz Cointreau 1/2 a lime's juice 1/2 oz Grenadine A splash of maraschino cherry syrup (not necessary, tho) 4 oz. Pineapple juice Dash or 2 of Angostura bitters Shake, strain into a chilled Hurricane glass (skip the rocks). Delicious!

No way man!!! Leave the frikkin' soda out!!!

+Kris Thienpont You don`t get it, don`t you? Even with him explaining that he`s doing a more classical version, a mix between a straits and a singapore sling, the first being a twist on a collins! Damn internet experts!

i wonder what his drink of choice is and what his favourite cocktail is?

I had one where they used blackberry brandy, no mezcal on the side. HaHa... Excellent drink...

From the recipe card in raffles hotel: Singapore sling 30ml Gin 120ml pineapple juice 15ml lime juice 7.5ml countreau 7.5ml dom benedictine 10ml grenadine a dash of angostura bitters garnish with a slice of pineapple and cherry

sapphire gin?He put just the dry gin ha

I like topping off with 7-Up vs Club soda...

Drinking a Singapore Sling at Raffles is the most disappointing moment of a cocktail drinkers life. The bar man pulls out a gun, squirts it into a glass and then charges you about 20 USD for it.

jajaja ah no; try again....

1:42 the recipe begins

ah no, try again....

Just make the friggin' drink! Why is this a 4 minute video?
