The Singapore Sling is a gin-based sling cocktail from Singapore. This long drink was developed sometime before 1915 by Ngiam Tong Boon , a Hainanese bartender working at the Long Bar in Raffles Hotel, Singapore. It was initially called the gin sling – a sling was originally a North American drink composed of spirit and water, sweetened and flavored.

Look out! Here comes a … giant red hurricane glass full of gin. Like the web-slinger, the Singapore Sling is pretty friendly with its bright coat of Cherry Heering. That color, which disguised the cocktail as a non-alcoholic punch back in the early 20th century, helped the ladies of the Raffles Hotel sip their booze on the sly, making it the most heroic cocktail in our book. Like Tobey Maguire’s portrayal of the wall-crawler, the original 1915 Singapore Sling recipe will never be topped.
