Background and Origins of
Singapore Sling
The Singapore Sling is a storied cocktail that originated in the early 20th century at the Raffles Hotel in Singapore. Its creation is credited to Ngiam Tong Boon, a Hainanese bartender working at the hotel. The drink was developed around 1915, during a time when the genteel British colonial society favored elegant and sophisticated beverages. Ngiam Tong Boon crafted the Singapore Sling as a solution to a social dilemma. At the time, it was frowned upon for women to consume alcoholic beverages in public. To circumvent this, Ngiam created a cocktail that appeared to be a fruit juice but contained a potent mix of spirits. The pink hue of the drink, derived from the cherry liqueur and grenadine, gave it a non-alcoholic appearance, making it socially acceptable for women to enjoy. The Singapore Sling's reputation quickly spread beyond the Raffles Hotel, and it became a symbol of tropical luxury and exotic travel. Its popularity soared during the golden age of travel in the 1920s and 1930s, when adventurous spirits sought out the glamour and excitement of far-off destinations.
