Raffles is a rather exclusive hotel, and I remember the drink costing around me around $12 dollars - but I did get to keep the glass. The glass is a stemmed glass, with a drawing of a 1920 era couple on it .... definitely more of a Great Gatsby than a tiki feel. The Slings there were pre-made, but I didn't complain too much because it did soothe my dry throat. A web search came upon an image of the Raffles Singapore Sling glass - that is not me in the picture. http://www.downstream.sk.ca/gifs/singapore.jpg Vern
