Инструкции
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.
The Darkwood Sling is a simple, low-ABV cherry cocktail built on Cherry Heering liqueur topped with soda water and orange juice. The cherry liqueur lends a deep, dark red hue and a sweet-herbal backbone lightened by the citrus and effervescence. It belongs to the broad sling family, a category of spirit-citrus-soda builds.
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.
