Singapore Sling

Probably no mixed drink has been as mistreated as this one. As Dale DeGroff, mixologist of Blackbird Restaurant in New York City, says, "The only thing most bartenders know about the Singapore Sling is that it's supposed to be red." This is an adaptation of the original recipe from Raffles Hotel in Singapore.

Directions

1. Fill a shaker with ice. Add 6 tablespoons pineapple juice, 2 tablespoons gin, 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, 1 tablespoon Cherry Heering, 1 tablespoon grenadine, 1/2 tablespoon Benedictine, a dash of Triple Sec and 3 dashes of Angostura bitters. Shake for 1 minute and strain over ice into a tall glass.
