A classic gin-based cocktail with a harmonious blend of pineapple, cherry, and citrus notes.
The history of the Singapore Sling is believed to begin in the first half of the 20th century, when Singapore became a popular stopover for travelers and entrepreneurs en route between Europe and the Far East. The bar at the Raffles Hotel, which opened in 1887, was a magnet for the local elite and foreign guests.
Legend has it that the cocktail was conceived as a "girly" drink: light, vibrant, with fruity notes and a relatively low alcohol content, so as not to distract from socializing and entertaining.
