Other Notes
Ngiam Tong Boon, a bartender at Raffles Hotel around the turn of the century, created the Singapore Sling in 1915. And, despite the cocktail's original posturing as a lady's drink (thus the pink hue), it was soon enjoyed the world over. A recipe scribbled on a bar-chit—in Ngiam's own handwriting, dated 1936—can be viewed in the museum at Raffles Hotel, Singapore. Here, the Singapore Sling is still being mixed and served in its original splendor. Ngiam Tong Boon, a bartender at Raffles Hotel around the turn of the century, created the Singapore Sling in 1915.
