Description:
The Singapore Sling is linked to Raffles Hotel in Singapore and bartender Ngiam Tong Boon. It is one of the most famous hotel cocktails of the early 20th century. The drink is more complex than most fruity highballs: gin, herbal and fruit liqueurs, pineapple, and citrus create a spicy, juicy, layered flavor. It should not become just a sweet pineapple punch.
