Enjoy another Thirsty Thursday with the South-East Asian flavor of the Singapore Sling!

The Singapore Sling was developed sometime before 1915, by Ngiam Tong Boon. A Hainanese bartender, he was working at the famous Raffles Hotel Singapore, in the bustling Long Bar. In the Hotel’s museum, visitors may view the safe in which Mr. Ngiam locked away his precious recipe books, as well as the recipe that had been hurriedly scribbled on a bar napkin by a visitor in 1936.

A refreshing treat, the Singapore Sling has made it to neighboring countries, but can still found at it’s home bar at the Raffles!
