San Francisco with a Twist

Usually this punchy citrus cocktail does not have an ounce of alcohol, like vodka,  however we added it for a twist.

Singapore Sling

A classic cocktail that is light and refreshing. We skipped the Benedictine and used orange juice instead; which may explain the sherberty flavour.

1 1/2 oz gin
1/2 oz cherry brandy
1/4 oz triple sec
1/4 oz Benedictine® liqueur
4 oz pineapple juice

1/2 Grenadine syrup
1 cup ice

Fill a tall cocktail glass, like a Collins, with 1 cup of ice and place inside the freezer.

In a cocktail shaker combine the gin, cherry brandy, triple sec, Benedictine, pineapple juice, lime juice and Grenadine. Add the other 1 cup of ice, cover and shake well until chilled. Strain into the prepared cocktail glass.

Garnish with the cherries or a slice of pineapple and a cherry.
