Was Singapore Sling invented to disguise the fact that Women were drinking alcohol in Singapore?
MOREWas Singapore Sling invented to disguise the fact that Women were drinking alcohol in Singapore?
The answer is a resounding no. The Singapore Sling was actually invented by a bartender at the Raffles Hotel in Singapore in 1915. His name was Ngiam Tong Boon and the drink was created as an homage to the ladies who frequent the hotel lobby and also, It is said that he created it to appeal to the many British soldiers stationed in Singapore during World War I. There's no evidence that Ngiam Tong Boon ever intended for his cocktail to be anything other than a refreshing and delicious beverage enjoyed by all.

Ouzo Anise Liqueur
Anise flavoured spirits or liqueurs had been in use for ages, but anise flavoured spirits gained popularity post the initial ban on Absinthe, the anise, fennel and wormwood derived spirit that has the notoriety of being a highly alcoholic spirit psychoactive and hallucinegenic drug, that was was banned for a while.
The most popular anise based or anise flavoured spirits are Absinthe, Anisette, Arak, Galliano, Pernod Fils, Ouzo, Pastis and many more.Orange Juice
Orange Juice is an excellent source of Vitamin C, one cup contains twice the daily recommended value. Vitamin C supports the immune system and helps fighting the common cold. The folate in Orange juice supports healthy fetal development. It is low calory and thus is already a qualified alternative to cola fizz in your cocktail if you want to keep your drinks acceptably healthy.
Orange Juice being citrus and naturally sweet and sour, it literally goes with almost any liquor, and of course Vodka being neutral, the best known pairing is with Vodka. But goes well with Dark Rum too, and you get the Planter's Punch, mix it with Champagne and you have made a mimosa, or with tequila to make a tequila sunrise.
