This is an original by Dr. Cocktail, adapted from the classic Singapore Sling recipe and using some of the same ingredients. However, it’s a straight-up cocktail rather than a long drink. Be sure to use kirschwasser and not a “cherry brandy” liqueur for this drink. Don’t use Cherry Heering, either.
