Singapore Sling
With a provenance going all the way back to at least 1915, the Singapore Sling is older than it seems; the combination of gin, Bénédictine, and fruits feels as timely as ever over a hundred years on. This recipe was preserved by veteran mixologist Dale DeGroff, who was given notes on the recipe invented by Ngiam Tong Boon at the Raffles Hotel in Singapore.
