it's funny you mention the sling... a friend was in town on business last week and insisted that we go to Raffles for a sling. It was his first trip to the country.
So there we are at the famous long bar... the place where Somerset Maughn used to hang out. He orders the sling and is all in anticipation of the mixing and the delivery.
Literally, less than 5 seconds...
"There you are sir."
either they keep a mix of them in a pail under the bar or a stack of them premixed in the fridge. He was very disappointed.
especially when the bill came and it was S$25
