For anyone whos ever made a cocktail at home, its not difficult to imagine how messy workstations in bars and restaurants can get if equipment, bottles, and counters arent repeatedly wiped down during service. Which is why the vast majority of working bartenders have streamlined their processes to ensure everything stays as clean as possible. But some bar tools like jiggers, for example are used more frequently than others and thus require more persistent cleaning.

When considering the factors that make a cocktail notable or iconic, the Singapore Sling has a lot going for it. Theres a 100-plus-year history and indelible ties to a nation, not to mention links to a historic hotel bar in said nation. Plus, it has its own glass, a catchy name, and a memorable big-screen appearance in at least one major film. But despite all of that, the Singapore Sling isnt the kind of cocktail we tend to overintellectualize or even craze.
