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.

Absinthe Herbal Liqueur
Absinthe is an anise flavoured spirit derived from several plants including grand wormwood. green anise and fennel ,along with other medicinal and culinary herbs. Absinthe is Swiss in origin, and was created in the late 18th Century, it rose to tremendous popularity in the late 19th and early 20th Century among Parisian artists and writers, and became associated with the Bohemian culture and notoriety.
Earnest Hemmingway, James Joyce, Charles Baudelaire, Toulouse-Lautrec, Pablo Picasso, Vincent Van Gogh, Oscar Wilde, Edgar Allan Poe, Lord Byron to name a few celebrated auteurs and thinkers who were Absinthe aficionados and it's needless to say their association took Absinthe to an unprecedented popularity and notoriety at the same time. It also has the reputation of being a psychoactive drug and hallucinogen, although these claims don't have any scientific evidence, resulting in Absinthe ban in USA and Europe for a long period.
Absinthes are of two types, distilled and cold mixed. Distilled Absinthe used a technique similar to Gin where the distillation removes the undesired herbal bitter influences while producing the clear spirit with the desired complexity and aroma retained in it.
Cold mixed Absinthe is produced using the inexpensive process of blending flavouring essencs and artificial colouring in commercial alcohol, just as flavoured Vodka is produced by infusion, it is this Cold Mixed Absinthe that can reach as high as 90% ABV. Beware that due to the lack of Absinthe regulations in many countries. producers falsify advertising claims like, referring to their product as "distilled".Rumple Minze Peppermint Liqueur
