The Singapore Sling Cocktail is the drinks that refuses to be ordinary. Born at the Raffles Hotel in the early 1900s, it’s a long drink that brings together gin, cherry, citrus, and spice for something layered, luscious, and a little mysterious.
In Los Angeles, it’s what you serve when the crowd is curious, cultured, and craving something beyond the usual.
