Pro Tips

🏨 Raffles Hotel Origin

Created by bartender Ngiam Tong Boon at the Raffles Hotel in Singapore around 1915. Designed to look like fruit juice so ladies could drink in public without scandal.

🍒 Cherry Heering

This Danish cherry liqueur is essential – not cherry brandy or maraschino. It's sweeter and darker, giving the Sling its distinctive character.
