What glass is a Singapore Sling served in?

A hurricane glass. Its volume fits crushed ice, fruit juices and a towering garnish, and the shape tells everyone the drink is a party.

Is a Singapore Sling shaken or stirred?

Shaken. It contains citrus, juice, cream or egg, which need the force and aeration of shaking.

About 8% ABV after dilution, or roughly 1.2 US standard drinks (17 g of alcohol) per serve.

Roughly 251 kcal per drink, most of it from alcohol and sugar.

Yes. Vodka is the closest substitute, though the drink will taste different.

Gin, cherry liqueur, Bénédictine, pineapple and lime. A pink tropical classic from the Raffles Hotel.

Add the London dry gin, cherry liqueur, orange liqueur, Bénédictine, pineapple juice, lime juice, grenadine and Angostura bitters to a shaker.
Fill with ice and shake hard for 12 to 15 seconds.
Strain into a hurricane glass over fresh ice cubes.
Garnish with a pineapple wedge and a cocktail cherry.

Ngiam Tong Boon is credited with creating it at the Long Bar of the Raffles Hotel around 1915. The recipe has changed many times since.

Created c. 1915 in Singapore. Listed as an official cocktail by the International Bartenders Association.

Bartender's tip: Shake hard so the pineapple builds a pink foam on top.
