The Singapore Sling was created in the early twentieth century at the Raffles Hotel in Singapore. It was designed to be both refreshing and visually appealing.
It combines gin with a mix of fruit and herbal ingredients, resulting in a complex but approachable drink. Over time, the recipe has evolved, but the spirit of it remains the same. It is a cocktail that carries a sense of place.
Why Lush Life Loves It
