Singapore Sling

IBA

Created around 1915 by Ngiam Tong Boon at the Raffles Hotel in Singapore, this drink was originally intended as a socially acceptable way for women to consume alcohol in public, disguised beneath its fruit-forward appearance. Its complexity is staggering — cherry liqueur, herbal Bénédictine, and pineapple juice weave through a gin base, with bitters lending just enough savory contrast to prevent the sweetness from dominating.
