THE RAFFLES HOTEL ORIGINAL SINGAPORE GIN SLING COCKTAIL
The Singapore Sling is one of those wonderful drinks that we probably have all heard of, but perhaps have never had. And because this recipe is often incorrectly recorded in most recipe books, even if you've think you've had it, you probably haven't. One of the key, and often overlooked ingredients in this drink is Benedictine. While the resulting flavour is not overly predominate, it does add a certain taste profile that would be totally missing without this secret ingredient. None dispute that the Singapore Sling was originally created by Mr. Ngiam Tong Boon for the Raffles Hotel in Singapore. However that is where the agreements end. The exact date is in question, with some people claiming it was in 1915, some 1913, while the hotel itself claims that it was created sometime prior to 1910. There is also plenty of disagreement as to how closely the current version of this drink that is served at Raffles is to what was originally served. Apparently the original recipe was lost and forgotten sometime in the 1930's, and the drink that they currently serve at the hotel's Long Bar (see recipe below) is based on memories of former bartenders, and some written notes that they were able to discover. Whatever the truth may be, this "iconic" drink is still enjoyed today, as much as it was back in the early 20th century! Maybe, the only way to really appreciate this cocktail, is to sip it slowly whilst sitting in a rattan chair, under the ceiling fans in the Long Bar at Raffles Hotel!

- Chill your ingredients: Before you start making your Singapore Sling, chill all of your ingredients. This will help the drink stay cold and refreshing.
- Use a good quality gin: Gin is the main ingredient in a Singapore Sling, so it's important to use a good quality gin. Look for a gin that is smooth and flavorful.
- Don't over-shake the drink: When you're shaking your Singapore Sling, don't over-shake it. Over-shaking can make the drink cloudy and dilute the flavors.
- Garnish your drink: A Singapore Sling is traditionally garnished with a pineapple wedge and a maraschino cherry. You can also add a sprig of mint for an extra touch of flavor.
