When considering what makes a cocktail notable or even iconic, the Singapore Sling has a lot going for it. There’s the more than 100 years of history and indelible ties to a nation as well as a historic hotel bar in that nation. It has its own glass, a catchy name, and a memorable big-screen appearance in at least one major film.
