Dr. Cocktail does it again. In the entry in
Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails on the Straits Sling, what might be called an ancestor recipe of the Singapore Sling, he points out that you can leave out the soda water and prepare the Straits as a cocktail. I think I actually prefer it this way.
Singapore Strait Jacket- 2 oz gin
- 1/2 oz kirschwasser
- 1/2 oz Bénédictine
- juice of half a lemon
- 2 dashes orange bitters
- 2 dashes Angostura bitters
Stir in an iced shaker and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
