Sing “Singapore Sling”
A bartender, Ngiam Tong Boon who worked in Raffles Hotel in 1915, created the Singapore Sling. Since then, the recipe was so valuable to the extent that it has to be locked up in the safe of the hotel for many years.
The frothy gin and juice based cocktail were combined with ingredients including gin, cherry liqueur, pineapple juice, lime juice, Cointreau, Dom Benedictine and Grenadine. It’s shake up and end with a garnish of sliced pineapple topping with a cherry.
Singapore Sling has gained international fame over the years.
Actor, Johnny Depp acted in the movie ‘Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas’, mentioned Singapore Sling while meeting the attorney.
The drink is pretty high in spirits content. So, if you drink, don’t drive. If you don’t drive, you can drive yourself to sing out Singapore Sling aloud!
