Singapore Sling - 2 recipes!

[@AndersErickson]

Grab one of these bottles through my link (sorry, US only!): bit.ly/AndersTanglin Free shipping to the first 25 people to order. Thanks again to Tanglin Gin! Let me know which version you try! Cheers! 🍹😊

[@travelingman45]

Darn it! I had the free shipping, then had an error on the site and when I refreshed it made me go back to paying for shipping -edit- looks like you need to buy two bottles for the free shipping? Did that and got it this time, so I’m excited about getting those in!

[@CelesteHolbrookRN]

I picked up some bottles. They were out of one of the variations you used. So I got the orchid. Any suggestions of what to do with that?

[@BaenEndkind]

I somehow managed to grab one of the free shipping slots. Got mine last week, it is fantastic! Already my favorite. I will throw out there, they also sent an adorable handwritten thank you note, it was really appreciated!

[@benjaminxue4017]

Thanks for highlighting our national cocktail Anders! It’s such an iconic Sling that has now evolved into other forms in many cocktails bars here in Singapore! - From a grateful Singaporean viewer. ps - Congrats on the sponsorship with Tanglin. They have done really well here and around South East Asia. I am so excited to see it being appreciated all over the world now.

[@AndersErickson]

Thank you, Benjamin! Loved the Tanglin in this one. Cheers!

[@swirlingabyss]

We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like "I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should drive...." And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, which was going about a hundred miles an hour with the top down to Las Vegas.

[@jackbenavides2880]

Anders, congrats on your partnership with Tanglin Gin! They sky is the limit. Next stop 100k 🥳 Cheers!

[@AndersErickson]

Thanks, Jack! Let's go! 🥃

[@2010GTX]

I honestly just realized that he's under 100k subs. The quality of production, the videos and how likable he is, if anyone would ask me I'd say couple hundred k for sure!

[@richmosley2519]

It's just a matter of time! I think this channel will continue to take off.

[@MinecraftSki]

Anders: “It’s that simple. You just need to have a whole liquor cabinet” Me: “Wow this may be the first cocktail video that I happen to have all the ingredients for!”

Update: I made the drinks and prefer the 2.0 but both were great

I love a sling! Had my first on the rooftop of the Fullerton Bay Hotel in Singapore. Also, it's a small touch but I really appreciate you including the measurements in mls!

[@AndersErickson]

Thanks, James! Hope you enjoy these recipes - sorry I can't provide the rooftop in Singapore!

[@6Nicolas]

Hi Anders, I tried your 2.0 version (I'm a big fan of the classic Singapore Sling), and I must admit it's a killer. For my personal taste, I would cut back a little bit the Benedictine (0.5 oz instead of 1oz) and just add a touch of the soda water for the bubble... but a GREAT alternative when you ran out of pineapple juice and you STILL want a Singapore Sling. THANK YOU. Great variation. Keep on doing these, I really like your content. Cheers from Paris, France !

[@dimitarapostolov9788]

I was hoping to see Az taste both of them at the end and tell us which one is better! :D Great video Anders!

[@AndersErickson]

Thanks, Dimitar! Az loved them both too - we'll have to get her on camera again soon. Cheers!

[@lostscotsman]

@@AndersErickson Need more Az on camera, she is always fun to see doing taste tests!

[@iammeuru624]

I stepped up my game under the lockdown last year . I went from 3 bottles to 30 or so. You helped out with that by watching your videos. Making quality cocktails hurts the pocket a little but so rewarding when you take that sip . A big fan of Ward 8.

[@fomocorox1989]

It’s interesting how much the simplified version really resembles the full version. For way less faffing around I’d assume to just make it that way 👍

[@campke]

I happen to have lived for the last 6 years in the home of Tanglin Gin and the Singapore sling. The covid response here has been very, very strict but has also kept us relatively very safe on global terms. But we have been locked down pretty much since Mar 2020. I have so far had 3 "covid hobbies" to keep me sane, one of which is classic cocktails all thanks to your channel. It is fun, it has led me down rabbitholes of research, and it has given me something to look forward to every weekend. Your channel is well made, informative, approachable and friendly... everyone tells you this. But in these weird times we are living it has also been more to me, and I suspect others. Regardless of the future of the channel, please remember you have made a difference in my sanity, and I am sure in many others as well. Love your work, both of you! Cheers & "to the bar!"..

[@artashes555]

I’m such in respect of you Anders. It’s really a pleasure to see someone so passionate about his profession. Respect.

[@sendajiess]

Thank you for adding the quantity via the metric system (for us swedes). Keep up the great work!

[@David-mg8zu]

Congrats to the second recipe, amazing work Anders. I use a similar spec, but with orange bitters in place of the Angustura, and a little less Benedictine. Some old recipes use both bitters actually. Have a nice weekend. 🏖

[@AndersErickson]

Thanks, David! I contemplated using an orange bitters for the second, but already had the Ango from the first recipe. Amazing how many different takes you can do with this drink. Cheers my friend - happy Friday! 🍹

You are the goat Sr. Thank you for your in-depth knowledge which helps me remember the makeup of the many cocktails.

Made both versions for movie night. Both are great. Took the 2.0 and added 2 dashes of clove bitters. If you're keen to, I strongly recommend trying them.

[@autopilotz7618]

Anders, great videos. You should consider a series for those recipes where one minor change in ingredients converts the drink into another one (eg Long Island-> Grateful Dead). Maybe add to comparable sips?

Cheering Heering is my favorite liquor. If you've never had a Blood and Sand, its outstanding!

[@devinphillips9704]

So I tried the traditional recipe of four ounces of pineapple juice, and yeah, that just overpowers it. So I dialed it back to 1.5 ounces, and upped the Benedictine and triple sec to half an ounce, and that made it just as refreshing but much more complex. Thanks for the video!

[@Speciarii]

I tried both versions and they are both excellent in their own right. I appreciate the pineapple in the original.

[@DwightMS1]

Anders, I've done a lot of experimenting with this drink, and my favorite recipe (my two cents) is: 1 3/4 oz. gin (I like Tanqueray) 3 oz. pineapple juice 1/2 oz. Cointreau 1/2 oz. Benadictine 1/4 oz. Cherry Heering Angostura bitters I've found that Cherry Heering is a very dominant flavor, so I cut way back on it, and now, according to my taste buds, the drink is perfectly balanced.

[@PyrrhusBrin]

A bartender I used to see quite a bit would add a splash of amaretto I'm not sure why but it definitely added a different dimension to the drink.

[@jasonlobell1340]

Anders! discovered your channel a few weeks ago. Absolutely loving it. You're so clear and concise with your recipes and you package it up in such an entertaining way. I feel like I'm learning to mix cocktails from you the same way I learned how to cook from Alton Brown. Keep up the great work! With colder weather just around the corner I'd love to see your take on a Hot Toddy! P.S. ordered and then made my first Negronis this week after seeing your episode and I'm now officially a Negroni fan...

[@lrvogt1257]

I've notice in the video of a Raffles bartender includes Cointreau. I'd never tasted any of these before and they are all delicious but I discovered last night that the combination of Heering Cherry, Benedictine, and Clément Creole Schrubb is spectacular. I have actually not made the Singapore Sling yet but will be experimenting with Pineapple or not and seltzer or not.

Way late on this but super excited because i recently (FINALLY) crossed the border from Canada to US and brought back a bottle of Cherry Herring. (You will NOT find Cherry heering anywhere on the east coast in Canada, probably the West coast too). I saw the official IBA recipe and noticed the whopping 4 oz of pineapple juice?? I like your idea of 1 oz. and totally gonna try your equal parts 2.0 version. Cheers!

[@jeffreybrooks8643]

Hi, Anders! I lived in Singapore as an American Expatriot from 1980-82, and at the Raffles Hotel during that period the bar served a Singapore Gin Sling very much like the Singapore Sling Ver. 2.0 in this video. I don't know the well gin the bar used, but upon request they would make it with a heavy pour of Bombay 80 proof London Dry Gin plus 2-4 dashes of Angostura Aromatic Bitters. The garnish was a slice of Lime, a sliver of Pineappler fruit, and a Cherry or two. I don't doubt that the recipe evolved over time, and who knows what Somerset Maughm actually enjoyed to keep away the Malaria! Cheers!

Only the best of the best get put on note cards and enter the repertoire. This did it (first recipe, haven't tried #2 yet). The gin hits you first, then the cherry, pineapple, lime and last, the herbs and so pretty. As you drink, the herbs move up to first, like a fruity Last Word.
