Tiki Cocktail: Singapore Sling

In this video I'm doing the Singapore Sling recipe I learned when I first began bartending and it is delicious. Now I know there are many other variations and there are some prominent bartenders who claim their specs are the right ones as far as the Raffel's version. Honestly I don't know where the specs for mine came from and I will probably be doing some videos on those variations in the future, so before you jump all over my version as "wrong" I beseech you to taste it yourself!

The Singapore Sling was purportedly invented by a bartender named Ngiam Tong Boon at the Raffels Hotel in 1915. The inspiration for the cocktail came to him when he observed that while the men at his bar chose to drink Gin or Whiskey, the ladies were confined to drinking fruit drinks and teas. The Singapore Sling was his bid to create a drink especially for the ladies. Soon word spread far and wide making the drink more and more popular. Ngiam wanted to keep the recipe a secret so he locked it up in a safe (so only he would have access to it) and when he passed away, the bartenders were lucky enough to be able to retrieve the recipe from the safe with the help of his relatives. The safe and the recipe were then on display in a glass case at Raffels when the hotel was still in operations.

The Specs:

1.5oz or 45ml Gin
1oz or 30ml Cointreau
.25oz or 15ml Benedictine
1oz or 30ml Pineapple Juice
.75oz or 20ml Lime Juice
