It's 5 o'clock somewhere at the Raffles Singapore!

The Singapore Sling, widely regarded as the national drink, was first created in 1915 by Raffles bartender Ngiam Tong Boon and calls Long Bar its home. A tribute to the illustrious authors who have resided at the hotel, the Writers Bar is an inspiring setting for renowned and budding writers alike, and where you can discover the Raffles 1915 Gin by Sipsmith with the Million Dollar Cocktail, a lost treasure created in the early 19th century by Ngiam Tong Boon, now reinvented for your delight.
