 JW> A good Sling is wonderful thing.

An okay thing, anyhow.

 JW> Title: Original Raffles Singapore Sling
 JW> Reconstructed, to approximate the Long Bar's secret recipe at the
 JW> Raffles Hotel, Singapore

Didn't take much reconstruction. At the bottom of this message
I am reposting the recipe from the recipe card given out at the
Raffles Hotel ... aside from the number of dashes of bitters,
it's identical to the one you sent.

 BF> How to Clean Squid [from homecooking.about.com]
 JW> It's so simple a child of three can do it!

Shh! I showed Georgia and various others how back at the
Montreal Munch, and I made it look like some special art!

 JW> By the time she was six she was an old hand at carving stuff up. I
 JW> remember her slicing up her birthday cake to serve the other kids.
 JW> Some yuppie soccer mom (I call them helicopter moms cause they
 JW> constantly hover protectively over their kids) screamed out
 JW> hysterically, "She has a knife, somebody stop her!!!" Neekha just
 JW> smiled and continued serving cake calmly. That mom's eight year old
 JW> kid confided to me that she was not allowed to use a knife at home
 JW> yet, not even make a butter knife top make a peanut butter sandwich.
 JW> How sad.

The reward of such moms is that the kids will turn into something
like my brother, who was never given the keys to the house until
after he had graduated from college.

How does this jibe with your experience with seal meat?

Singapore Sling
cat: booze, authentic
servings: 1

1 oz gin
1 Tb cherry brandy
4 oz pineapple juice
1 Tb lime juice
1/2 Tb Cointreau

2 ts grenadine

P.S. The Long Bar that you see now is in fact
a replica of the original one, which used to
be in what is now the hotel lobby check-in area.
It is said that the guests one day were rather
shocked to find a tiger prowling through the
Long Bar. A rifle was fetched, and the manager
shot the gatecrasher, contributing to legend
and to the endangerment of the species.
