In the Singapore Sling, a herbal, spice-forward liqueur is added to give the drink depth that pairs with the gin and fruit flavors. Benedictine DOM is the classic liqueur used in the original recipe, bringing a complex blend of 27 herbs and spices that adds warmth and subtle sweetness without overpowering the citrus and cherry elements. While orange liqueurs like triple sec or Curaçao appear in some modern versions, Benedictine DOM defines the traditional balance of the drink. Amaretto, with its almond character, doesn’t fit the same herbal profile. So Benedictine DOM is the liqueur most closely associated with the Singapore Sling.
