📜 History
The Singapore Sling was created at the Long Bar of Singapore's Raffles Hotel, traditionally attributed to bartender Ngiam Tong Boon sometime between 1910 and 1915. The original recipe was unfortunately lost, and modern versions vary considerably. The current Raffles recipe, reconstructed from memories and historical notes, has become the accepted standard—a complex blend of gin, cherry liqueur, and tropical fruit that captures colonial-era elegance.
