Singapore Sling (using Old Tom gin)

Slightly on the dry and sour side, this is decidedly more complex than most Singapore Sling recipes

Just came into some cherry brandy (Ableforth’s) and gave this old recipe a go. Definitely on the tart side, but a nice, less tiki Sling nevertheless. Would agree that a drop of pineapple would slightly sweeten and improve this.

I have made this version once like this and once with a splash of pineapple juice. Is it intentionally left out here? This is a nice drink but very different from the Difford or Dale DeGroff versions and I think a small amount of pineapple juice improves it.

Agreed. I prefer with pineapple juice, but it is argued that the above recipe based on Old Tom is nearer to Boon's original 1899-1915 recipe. Please click link above in History for more info.
