Genuine Singapore Sling

• 1 oz Gin
• 1/2 oz Cherry brandy
• 4 oz Pineapple juice
• 1/2 oz Lime juice
• 1/4 oz Cointreau
• 1/4 oz Benedictine
• 1/3 oz Grenadine
• 1 dash Angostura bitters

Combine all of the ingredients in a shaker, fill with ice and shake until the shaker is well frosted. Strain into a tall glass and garnish with a slice of pineapple and cherry.

I've got this recipe from Raffles Hotel, Singapore, where it was originally invented. Singapore Sling was created at Raffles Hotel at the turn-of-the-century by Hainanese-Chinese bartender Mr Ngiam Tong Boon. Originally, the Singapore Sling was meant as a woman's drink, hence the attractive pink colour.
