The Singapore Sling was created at Raffles Hotel (in, naturally enough, Singapore) at the turn of the 20th century by a bartender named Ngiam Tong Boon. Visit the hotel today, and you see the safe in which Ngiam locked away his recipe books, as well as the Sling recipe hastily jotted down on a bar chit in 1936 by a hotel visitor who had asked a waiter for it.
