Cocktail: Origines du Sling | Bartender: Jean-Félix Desfossés
The “”Origines du Sling”” is part of my new cocktails menu at the Bistro Le SAM, Château Frontenac cocktail bar. Made with Tanqueray No. Ten, Dillon’s Cherry Gin, Dom Benedictine, lime , Ms Better’s Bitters Pineapple Star & Anise and a splash of soda. This cocktail is to me what should have always been a Singapore Sling.
0,75 oz Tanqueray No. 10
0,75 oz Dillon’s Cherry Gin
0,75 oz Benedictine
0,75 oz Lime juice
3 Dashes Angostura Orange
8 Drops of Ms. Better’s Bitters Pineapple Star & Anise
2 oz Soda
Shake all ingredients over ice except the soda. Fine strain in a collins glass over fresh ice. Top with soda and garnish with a star anis and pineapple leaf.

Being truly passionate for everything related to cocktails he uses his interest for flavours, aestheticism and photography to share this passion among the greatest number of people.
