Refreshing tropical cocktail garnished with a pineapple slice and cherry, set on a wooden surface with a whole pineapple and cocktail shaker in the background.

Initially intended as a woman’s drink, the original was created by Ngiam Tong Boon, a bartender at Raffles Hotel, Singapore (1915). Now very popular and enjoyed by all, it was a favorite of the actor Douglas Fairbanks. One sip and you will know why.
