In an unusual and humorous approach to Singapore’s bi-centennial celebrations, True Heritage Brew (THB) is launching their Know Your Singapore Sling campaign from 1-14 November 2019 at Resorts World Sentosa, “to raise our knowledge of Singapore to another level––in a lighthearted way…” smiles Founder & CEO, Mr. HS Chow.
With a view to engaging a large segment of Singaporeans and permanent residents in some fun while boosting interest in and knowledge of Singapore’s national cocktail Singapore Sling, THB is asking tongue-in-cheek how thoroughly Singaporeans really know their country.
“You know your Singapore history: facts, dates, prominent figures; you know our geography: population, climate, where we sit on the globe. You can answer visitors’ questions like, “Can you really not chew gum?” and “What’s Singapore’s best local dish?” But can you answer this tricky one: “What does Singapore Sling taste like?”
“This,” says HS Chow, “is what gives you the edge to make it to the top of the class!”
Singapore Sling is legendary. It is one of the world’s favourite cocktails; it is such a popular symbol of Singapore that it was mentioned by former US President, Barack Obama, in his toast to Prime Minister and Mrs Lee Hsien Loong in 2016; and it is one of visitors’ top things to try while in Singapore. And yet most Singaporeans have never tried it.
This campaign is a bid for Singaporeans to taste and know the true, authentic Singapore Sling: to understand it and embrace it as part of our nation’s treasures.
Founder & CEO of THB and creator of THB Singapore Sling® Original Mix HS Chow says, “We want Singaporeans to 1) know this wonderful drink, Singapore Sling, 2) know the real, authentic taste of Singapore Sling and 3) know that this cocktail can (and should!) be enjoyed anywhere and on all occasions. Enjoy it in a 6-star hotel cocktail lounge or on a yacht; celebrate your birthday or National Day with it at home, by the pool or at a bar; drink it on board Singapore Airlines; have it at a picnic. Everybody should know our national cocktail and be proud of it. Celebrate with it. Try it! I think once you try it, you’ll love it.”
And here’s the best part: it’s FREE* for Singaporeans and Singapore permanent residents. The campaign runs for two weeks only, at THB’s red Singapore Sling food and drink trailer at Resorts World Sentosa.
While you’re there, turn up the fun. Not only can you get your free* Singapore Sling, you can show off your knowledge by playing our game, get to the top of the class and win prizes. To help your brain work at its peak, there is food that has been specially put together to excite your taste buds, also mocktails, juices, cocktail ice creams and cocktail freezes to jazz up your day.
Turn up at the trailer during the two-week campaign, show your IC, get to know THB’s legendary Singapore Sling and have some serious fun!
