Instrucciones

There are many good cherry liqueurs you can use, but I prefere Heering. Add one share of the liqueur. Then you add one share of Soda. For a sour sling use Tonic (most people prefer the drink without Tonic). Afterwards you fill the glass with Orange Juice and ice cubes.

Dark Herbal

El Darkwood Sling es un sencillo cóctel de cereza de bajo ABV elaborado con Cherry Heering coronado con agua con gas y zumo de naranja. El licor de cereza aporta un tono rojo oscuro y profundo y una base dulce-herbal aligerada por los cítricos y la efervescencia. Pertenece a la amplia familia sling, una categoría de mezclas de destilado-cítrico-soda.

History & Origins

The sling is one of the oldest cocktail families, documented in early 19th-century American bartending guides. The Darkwood Sling is a modern variation that swaps the traditional base spirit for Cherry Heering, a Danish cherry liqueur dating to 1818. Its exact origin is disputed, though the drink draws on well-established sling conventions.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: ripe black cherry, orange blossom, and faint herbal spice from the Heering. Palate: sweet cherry up front, brightened by fresh orange juice and a slightly tannic herbal note. Finish: clean and refreshing with lingering citrus and a gentle effervescence.

Pro Tip

Use freshly squeezed orange juice and well-chilled soda water for the brightest flavor, and serve over large ice cubes to slow dilution.
