I committed to making this today following a request for a 'something different' drink. I knew my version would involve improvisations but I wasn't expecting to have use guava juice in lieu of pineapple! Nevertheless I pressed on: (all in mls) 50 Edinburgh Gin, 20 Wild Kirsch, 10 Cointreau, 2.5 Becherovka, 15 lime juice, 2.5 agave syrup, 60 guava. Surprisingly good, perhaps more Pratapgarh, than Singapore, Sling, but I'd do it again!

too dry for me, added 15ml cherry syrup. yep thats good now.

Love Dale's recipe for a Singapore sling.
I suggest to up the grenadine to 5-7,5 ml (or use 10 ml cranberry concentrate if you don't have homemade non artificial flavored grenadine concentrate)
And to top up with soda in the glass.
Then less pineapple dominated and even more fresh.

This recipe has been on my wishlist for awhile, which I’m so glad I finally got to make this, as I used Sunshine & Sons gin which adds notes of pomegranate, lavender and pink rose, which works really well in a Singapore Sling

Retried both this and the raffles version side by side, tho cut the pineapple to 90 ml for the raffles version. I think it should be remembered that this was originally a tropical climate drink, so large amounts of fruit juice for rehydration made sense, perhaps less so for modern air conditioned lifestyles. I think they are both great drinks in their contexts.

I made this with a locally produced chilli infused gin and it worked really well

Tried this side by side with the Raffles Formula (https://www.diffordsguide.com/cocktails/recipe/1825/singapore-sling-raffles-formula) - minus the soda:
The Dale DeGroff Sling is less sweet and more tart.
Importantly, imho, it lacks the pineapple note and mouthfeel (amazing foam) of the Raffles/IBA formula, but I guess that's down to preference.
