I had my first and only Singapore Sling at the bar in the Raffles Hotel where it was invented. It was bloody awful.
Ahh…Singapore Slings will put you on your butt. Because a well made one can go down quite easily!
As an aside, I do enjoy watching a reasonably attractive woman showing off some thing she’s enthusiastic about… :-)
Yowzer! I watched the whole video three times. Did she make a drink or something?
Last one I had was at the origination Raffles Hotel Singapore Bar.
As I recall (5+ years ago) about $30; not worth it at that price.
Last time I was inpatient at the VA hospital, I tried to break the monotony by telling about how the Singapore Sling is called the gin sling in Singapore, because it was invented in the Long Bar at the Raffles. Maugham called the Raffles “the soul of the East,” or something along those lines.
Ennyhoo, the nurses thought I was talking about some kind of sex chair and got their leg hairs all in cornrows.

I had one at Raffles Hotel in Singapore, where they originated. Was quite underwhelmed. Give my vanilla vodka and tonic any day of the week.
My favorite mixed drink when I was in college. I need to have one for old times sake.
Cute Irish gal.
Make a Tom Collins. Add a splash of cherry brandy. Easy-peasy.
I could look at Ciara all day long and be very happy!
