A famous cocktail since the early 1900s, made from dry gin, DOM Benedictine, Cointreau, cherry brandy, Angostura bitters, Grenadine, lime and pineapple juice
It seems as though it's now part of the economy class menu, as both the menus on my recent flights mentioned it. It hadn't been a feature on my flights last year. But given jef7's and my experience, it might run out on the segments heading back to Singapore. The FA used the words, "I'm sorry, sir, but we are unable to offer the Singapore Sling on this flight." (Followed of course by, "I apologize for not telling you in advance. Would you like another cocktail?" Ah, the SQ service that I love.)

Singapore Sling, definitely.
They ran out of it yesterday upon departure on the NRT-LAX leg of SQ 11 (what is it with pax drinking all the Slings on flights to NRT?). Hopefully SQ had some Sling mix at LAX, lest they'd be out of it for the return voyage as SQ 12 as well. Had the Silver Kris Sling instead, which was quite a bit stronger to the taste, didn't go down as smoothly as the Singapore Sling.
SQ 21/SQ 22 had Slings in Exec Econ five months ago.

As an oenovaphile (sp? dictionary not at hand), I may be viewed as a heretic for saying this, but I generally don't care for Champagne. I certainly like the bubbles, but as wine I find most of it tasteless or worse, bitter. Dom Perignon is no exception. There are only two kinds I care for: Perrier Jouet's Fleur de Champagne and Moet & Chandon's White Star (the last being very reasonably priced).
Now, cocktails like the Sling and glasses of champagne are totally different animals. And when I fly SQ F I'll probably partake in whatever they're serving just for the sake of it because Champagne does have that celebratory aura that a cocktail doesn't. Still, a Singapore Sling is a fairly unusual cocktail these days in the US, so having one upon boarding SQ has its own celebratory effect.
Flame away. But I know you're out there, those of you who secretly agree with me.

I thought you were a Pepsi Twist guy 
You'll find the regular drink has a bit more bubbles in it
