Reflecting on his time as Creative Director and Head of Advocacy at Proof & Company, Jason Williams shares his experience of reimagining the world-famous Singapore Sling for the reopening of the Raffles Hotel and its Long Bar.
“We had the most profitable cocktail in the world, we took it apart and put it back together again. I have my own gin brand, called Widges Gin, and I’m now fortunate enough to have Widges Gin as the official gin of the Singapore sling, at the home of the Singapore sling, the Raffles Hotel.”
