There is a cocktail for just about every kind of personality—and a plethora of glasses to help showcase them. From the martini glass to the hurricane glass, it’s easy to be overwhelmed by the glassware options at your disposal. Thankfully, some of these glasses are incredibly versatile, and can be used for different types of drinks. Among these multi-purpose picks is the sling glass, which can be used to serve a variety of different cocktails.

A sling glass is, at its core, a tall glass that is narrower at the bottom and wider at the top. It closely resembles the pilsner glass, so you can very easily use a sling for pale lagers. A sling can also be used for mixed drinks on ice, and is closely associated with the Singapore Sling—a gin-based cocktail that was invented in the 1920s at the Raffles Hotel in, you guessed it, Singapore.
