It’s Friday! And what better way to celebrate the arrival of the weekend than with a cocktail!
The Singapore Sling is undoubtedly one of the world’s most popular and famous cocktails! And who would think that such a small (but delicious) glass of liquid could be one of Singapore Raffle’s key products? The drink was made sometime before 1915 by Ngiam Tang Boon, a bartender at The Long Bar in Raffle’s hotel. The recipe has evolved significantly since then; we know it now as a bright vibrant red tropical drink, which arguably it wouldn’t have been. It was, as the name suggests, a sling. Aside from some gin, lemon, lime juice and soda, the only additional ingredient would have been some cherry brandy or even some cointreau according to Imbibe magazine.
