Famous the world over, the Raffles Hotel's Long Bar is the very place that bartender Ngiam Tong Boon invented the now legendary Singapore Sling in 1915. The bar underwent a spruce up in 2018, as did the Sling, with the update using Widges gin and custom-made grenadine syrup. Thankfully the beloved tradition of discarding peanut shells directly on the floor remains.
