Singapore sling


The Singapore Sling is a cocktail that was invented in the Raffles Hotel in Singapore in 1915. The drink made by Ngiam Tong Boon was intended to be a ladies drink and became extremely popular over time.

The original recipe includes gin, cherry brandy and Benedictine (equal parts). The drink will be served on a glass after being shaken. On the glass club soda will be added to finalize it.

The picture shows the one that I drunk today on the Raffles Hotel. I know it's a ladies drink, but I really like it.

Note: do not order a Singapore Sling other than here. Every time I tried one, it's been awful.
