Singapore Sling Recipe

Singapore sling is a classic gin-based cocktail that every cocktail connoisseur needs to taste.- A must-try on your Hello! Singapore tour!. It was developed by a Hainanese bartender working at the Long Bar in Raffles Hotel, Singapore. Back in the day when it is considered inappropriate for women to drink alcohol in public, Ngiam Tong Boon found this a perfect opportunity to invent a perfect drink for women in distress especially for the upper-class women- Imagine a soldiers wife worried about his husband during the war- The Singapore Sling by then appeared to be a fruit punch, an acceptable drink for women to consume.

Singapore Sling is pretty easy to make. Get all your spirits and alcohols ready and we will teach you how to make your own Singapore Sling at home!
