The Singapore Sling was created in 1915 by bartender Ngiam Tong Boon at the Long Bar in Singapore's Raffles Hotel. During a time when it was considered improper for women to drink alcohol in public, it was designed with a pink color to resemble fruit juice.
This cocktail combines various ingredients including gin, cherry liqueur (Heering), Bénédictine, Cointreau, pineapple juice, lime juice, grenadine syrup, and Angostura bitters to create a sweet yet refreshing taste.
With approximately 13% ABV, it's approachable and easy to enjoy. The tropical fruit flavors harmonize with the complex aromas of herbal liqueurs. Served with its striking pink color and garnished with cherries or pineapple wedges, it's the perfect cocktail for hot summer days or tropical resort destinations.
The Long Bar at Raffles Hotel still serves this cocktail using the original recipe, maintaining the unique tradition of allowing guests to throw peanut shells on the floor.
The Singapore Sling has become an icon of cocktail culture and a must-try for any visitor to Singapore, representing the glamour and sophistication of the colonial era while remaining a delicious and refreshing drink.
