The story behind the Singapore Sling

The Singapore Sling was invented by bartender Ngiam Tong Boon in 1915 at the Raffles Hotel in Singapore. Back then, Raffles Hotel was a popular meeting place for local high society and British colonists. Ngiam Tong Boon created the Singapore Sling as a drink to appeal to women who did not have many drink choices at the time. The Singapore Sling was a fruity and colorful drink that was less strong than the other cocktails on the menu. Back then, Singapore Sling was served in a tall glass, but today you can find it in different glasses and sizes.

The Singapore Sling quickly became popular with tourists, and it wasn't long before the recipe spread to other bars and hotels around the world. Although the recipe has undergone some changes over the years, the Singapore Sling is still one of the most popular tropical cocktails.
