Review

A fruity sling with Tiki flavours and well-disguised gin-laced spirituous strength. Traditionally, "Sling" cocktails are charged with a soda, but why use plain soda when you can use a flavoured soda, in this case, pineapple soda.

It honestly could benefit from a plain soda. I did use a pineapple juice-sugar-soda mix (because I don't have pineapple soda and there isn't any near me), but it came out too sweet. The Orange Curacao, Benedictine and cherry liqueur are what stand out here. For me, The Educated Barfly's recipe is the best for the Singapore Sling.
