This is the original recipe of the Singapore Sling, which bears littles resemblance to the more commonly used recipe. This was originally created by Ngiam Tong Boon, a bartender at Raffles Hotel, Singapore, in 1915. Originally intended to be a feminine drink, this long exotic drink is now enjoyed by men and women alike. The original version of the cocktail was a favourite of famous writers Somerset Maugham and Joseph Conrad and actor Douglas Fairbanks, amongst others.
