Long Bar at Raffles Hotel in Singapore |
Ngiam Tong Boon |
The Singapore Sling was
created by bartender Ngiam Tong Boon in 1915 at the Long Bar in the Raffles
hotel in its namesake city. A hundred years later, it is Singapore’s national
drink, widely available on menus everywhere you turn, and has gained
international fame. It is still de rigueur for tourist visiting Singapore to go
into the flagship Raffles and have one at the Long Bar.
