🍸 The Singapore Sling, a gin-based cocktail with various liqueurs and fruit juices, was created between 1910 and 1915 at the Long Bar of the Raffles Hotel in Singapore by Taiwanese bartender Ngiang Tong Boon. Initially, it was possibly designed for the female clientele. The International Bartenders Association's (IBA) official recipe includes gin, Cointreau, cherry brandy, and a pre-mix of fruit juices. The cocktail was first listed by the IBA in 1986 and has seen several revisions. The current recipe involves shaking and straining 30 ml gin, 15 ml cherry liqueur, 120 ml pineapple juice, 15 ml fresh lime juice, 7.5 ml Cointreau, 7.5 ml Dom Bénédictine, 10 ml grenadine syrup, and a dash of Angostura, served in a highball glass with a pineapple slice and cocktail cherry garnish. The Singapore Sling appeared in the 1998 film "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," which became a cult classic, despite its initial box office earnings of just over $10 million, under the production cost of over $18 million.
