Singapore Sling Pour Guide

A printable, true-scale card that shows where each ingredient of a Singapore Sling reaches in your boston shaker glass. Change the glass, the ice or the units and the lines are recalculated.

Units

Print at 100% or "actual size", never "fit to page". The 100 mm ruler on the card lets you check.

How to Use It

  1. Print the card at 100% scale and check the 100 mm ruler.
  2. Cut along the dashed outline and fold the bottom flap back along the table line.
  3. Stand the card behind your glass so the glass's base sits on the table line and its outline lines up with the drawing.
  4. Look at each line at eye level and pour the numbered ingredient until the liquid reaches it.
  5. Add dashes, then mix and garnish as the recipe says.

Why the Lines Aren't Evenly Spaced

Most glasses are wider at the top than at the bottom, and many have a thick base or a curved bowl. The same 30 ml takes up much more height in the narrow bottom of a coupe than near its rim. We calculate each line from the measured shape of the glass, so the spacing changes exactly as the volume does.

Ice changes everything too. With a glass full of cubes, roughly half the space is ice, so each pour rises about twice as high. Pick the ice setting that matches how you build the drink.
