5 Classic Cocktails That You Can Drink in the Places Where They Were Created

We'll drink to this! Here are five cocktails that you can enjoy in the places where they were invented.

How about a Singapore sling in the hotel where a bartender first mixed it up? Or a mai tai at the San Francisco Trader Vic's where that cocktail was born?

1. Singapore sling. The famous Long Bar at Singapore’s Raffles hotel is where bartender Ngiam Tong Boon created this drink.

2. Bloody Mary. Ferdinand Petiot first made this cocktail at Harry’s New York Bar (now called the New York Bar) in Paris in 1921.

3. Mai tai. Trader Vic’s in San Francisco is the home of the original version of this rum, curacao, and fruit juice concoction.

4. Sidecar. The Ritz Paris claims to have given birth to this brandy-based cocktail in the early 1920s.

5. Black Russian. In 1949 Gustave Tops created this drink at the Hotel Metropole in Brussels, Belgium.
