Singapore Sling History
The Singapore Sling was born in 1915 at the Long Bar of Singapore's Raffles Hotel. It was created by bartender Ngiam Tong Boon from Hainan, China.
Legend has it the pink cocktail was designed to look like fruit juice, as it was considered improper for women to drink alcohol in public at the time.
The original recipe was lost for years until restored by the bartender's nephew in 1936. Today, Raffles Hotel's Long Bar still serves Singapore Slings made with the original recipe, maintaining the tradition of throwing peanut shells on the floor.
