Sling Glass to serve
The Singapore Sling was a drink created in or around 1915 in the Long Bar of the Raffles Hotel under the original name of the Straits Sling and renamed the Singapore Sling some time between 1922 and 1930.
Raffles no longer has the original recipe, a fact recorded by the hotel biographer and by the Communications Department of Raffles Hotel. The name “Straits Sling” dropped from common usage sometime around 1936.
