How to make:

  1. Select and pre-chill a Sling glass.
  2. Prepare garnish of skewered lemon slice wheel and Luxardo Maraschino Cherry (sail).
  3. SHAKE first 3 ingredients with ice.
  4. STRAIN into ice-filled glass whilst also pouring soda.

Review:

Lacks the citrus of other Singapore Slings but the strength of the gin and dilution cuts and so balances the sweetness of the liqueurs.

Too far away from the original. Still just about taste the cherry but the other flavours are a little overpowering.
