Ingredient substitutions
No exact bottle on the shelf? These swaps keep Darkwood Sling close to the original.
Instead of Orange Juice
- Pineapple Juice— more tropical
Instead of Cherry Heering
- Cherry Brandy— lighter
- Maraschino Liqueur— drier, funkier
Instead of Soda Water
- Lemon-Lime Soda— sweeter, citrusy
- Tonic Water— adds a bittersweet edge
Instructions
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.
Pairs well with
Cherry Heering lengthened with orange and soda enjoys Danish-style treats:
- Cherry danish bites
- Havarti cubes
- Butter cookies
- Dark chocolate-covered cherries
