History

Ngiam Tong Boon created the pink long drink at Raffles Hotel around 1915, reportedly disguising it as a socially acceptable fruit punch for women. This is a clearly labeled house field riff rather than a historical classic: Smoked salt sharpens the base spirit while suggesting a distant getaway fire.
