Singapore Sling

The Singapore Sling is a cocktail named after the place it was first invented in. Ngiam Tong Boon, a Hainanese bartender, who worked at the Long Bar in Raffles Hotel in Singapore at the time created the drink sometime before 1915. A sweetened and flavoured American drink called ‘sling’ that was made using spirit and water led this cocktail to originally be called the ‘Gin Sling’, which is now famous as the Singapore Sling Cocktail.
