"In 1915 a bartender named Ngiam Tong Boon at a luxury hotel in Singapore created the gin-based Singapore Sling so women—who were then frowned upon for drinking alcohol in public—could enjoy a cocktail that looked like fruit juice; he mixed gin with pineapple juice, grenadine, lime juice, Cointreau, Benedictine and a dash of cherry brandy to give it its juicelike color, and the drink soon became popular with a much wider audience and later achieved national recognition in Singapore." - Ashley Goldsmith
