Ingredients

    Or swap: Lemon-Lime Soda — sweeter, citrusy, Tonic Water — adds a bittersweet edge

Instructions

  1. There are many good cherry liqueurs you can use, but I prefere Heering.

  2. Add one share of the liqueur.

  3. Then you add one share of Soda.

  4. For a sour sling use Tonic (most people prefer the drink without Tonic).

  5. Afterwards you fill the glass with Orange Juice and ice cubes.
