What it is
The pink icon: the Singapore Sling — created at Raffles Hotel's Long Bar around 1915 by bartender Ngiam Tong Boon, a gin cocktail of cherry liqueur, herbal liqueur, pineapple and lime, designed (legend says) so ladies could drink 'fruit juice' in public. Origins: the original recipe was lost and reconstructed (the hotel's version: gin, Cherry Heering, Bénédictine, Cointreau, pineapple, lime, grenadine, bitters); the Long Bar still serves thousands weekly, peanut shells on the floor as tradition demands. Made from: gin base, cherry and herbal liqueurs, tropical juices. How it's made: 1) Shake gin, liqueurs, pineapple and lime with ice. 2) Strain over ice in a sling glass. 3) Top with soda (classic versions), garnish pineapple and cherry. Served: at the Long Bar, Raffles — the pilgrimage pour. Flavor: sweet-tart, cherry-herbal, tropical. Strength: ~15% as served. Culture: the Sling is Singapore's edible flag — a colonial-era glass that became a nation's signature.
