Though not quite as, er, complete as Gaiman's Being an Experiment Upon Strictly Scientific Lines, we spent some time concocting our version of the Singapore Sling this evening.

The final winner of a recipe:
1.5 oz gin (We were using Tanqueray 10, but i generally prefer Bombay Sapphire.)
0.5 oz cointreau
0.5 oz kirsh (cherry brandy)
1.5 tsp powdered sugar
juice of half a lime
0.75 oz tangerine juice
2.25 oz pineapple juice

I shook this over ice to get it cold, and then served it over fresh ice with a bit more kirsch floated atop. Good garnish? A sprig of mint, a piece of pineapple, a cherry. Traditionally this has Benedictine as well, but i have no such beast in the house at this time. After a few they get a bit sweet for me, but squeeze a little extra lime, and it evens right out. We'll see how they go over by the pitcher tomorrow.
