Last week I had my first Singapore Sling! Or shall I say my first Singapore Slings… although I am not a cocktail type of person. I read about it on a website describing traditional Singaporean food and drinks, and I must say it’s really extraordinary and different from what I have tried before! The Singapore Sling was developed by Ngiam Tong Boon in the early 1900's for the Raffles Hotel in Singapore and it has become a signature drink served in every bar in Singapore since then. Its today’s version differs from the original one; apparently bartenders use more simplified variations of the original recipe. The Singapore Sling, no matter which version I had, is very smooth, sweet and delicious!
Original Singapore Sling Recipe

1/2 ounce Cherry Herring

4 ounce pineapple juice
