The Singapore Sling is a classic cocktail that has earned its place in the annals of mixology. Known for its vibrant pink color and refreshing taste, this drink has become synonymous with the culture and heritage of Singapore, where it was first created over a century ago. Let's dive into the history, enduring popularity, and recipe of this iconic cocktail.
History of the Singapore Sling
The Singapore Sling was first crafted in 1915 by Ngiam Tong Boon, a Hainanese bartender at the Long Bar in Raffles Hotel, Singapore. During that era, it was frowned upon for women to drink alcohol in public. Ngiam saw an opportunity and created a cocktail that looked like fruit juice, making it socially acceptable for women to enjoy a drink in public. The original recipe was a gin-based cocktail with a mix of cherry brandy, Cointreau, Benedictine, pineapple juice, lime juice, grenadine, and a dash of Angostura bitters.
Over time, the recipe for the Singapore Sling has evolved, with various interpretations emerging across the globe. Despite the variations, the essence of the drink remains, making it a timeless symbol of Singapore's colonial past and vibrant culture.
