About:

Some say this "Million Dollar Cocktail" was created around 1910 by Ngiam Tong Boon at The Long Bar, Raffles Hotel, Singapore. Others maintain it was created in 1894 by Louis Eppinger at The Grand Hotel, Yokohama, Japan. Our money is on Louis, the man many also credit for creating the Bamboo Cocktail.
