thejab and Rum Numb Davey,

As you both seem to be cocktail purists, I thought you both would be interested in an article written by Ted Haigh (aka Dr. Cocktail) that can be found in Mixologist: The Journal of the American Cocktail. This is the first publication from the Museum of the American Cocktail.
Museum of the American Cocktail: Gift Shop

If you’re an MSN member (free) you can find a first draft of this article from Feb. 2002 below:

Rum Numb Davey,
I too enjoy Mr. Degroff's version of the Singapore Sling with two variations.

1. I believe you may have made a typo when you put 1/2 oz. of Cointreau, its 1/4 oz.
2. I personally reduce the pineapple to 1 oz., leave out the grenadine (haven't made my own... yet!) and increase the bitters to more than a dash. I prefer them less sweet and more pungent.

Best of luck, Rich
