One of the world’s most famous cocktails has been shaken and stirred with the reopening of Raffles Singapore. The iconic cocktail has been served in the hotel with an unchanged recipe since its 1915 creation. While traditionalists have raised their collective eyebrows, contemporary mixologists are excited with the updated Singapore Sling that incorporates Widges Gin and Scrappy’s Spice Plantation Bitters.
