I have to admit that the Singapore Sling was pretty watered down, sort of like Jell-O without the pectin to thicken it. It was worth it once just to say I have tried one, the experience being priceless and all, but if you're on a budget, I'd buy one and share it with your six best friends so you can all say you tried it but are only out a buck or two.

The Long Bar is similar to the Raffles Hotel in a colonial style. There is one funny detail here; at several places in this bar you see big bags with monkey nuts. Just fill a basket with nuts, and eat them with your drink. Don`t worry about the shells; you just can throw these on the floor. I know it is strange, but at this Singapore spot you must litter.
So it happens when you visit this bar in the evening hours you really walk on a carpet of shells. What you find in every tourist guide (and if you ask me, it is a bit of a must when you visit Singapore) is the suggestion to taste the famous Singapore Sling Cocktail served in this bar. This Singapore Sling was created here around 1900 by the Hainanese-Chinese bartender, Mr. Ngiam Tong Boon. For some time the recipe of this cocktail was a secret, locked away in a hotel safe, but nowadays you can get it from the friendly waiters.
Recipe 30ml Gin 15 ml Cherry Brandy 120ml Pineapple Juice 15 ml Lime Juice 7,5 ml Cointreau 7,5 ml Dom Benedictine 10 ml Grenadine A Dash of Angostura Bitters
