What is a "sling"?

A sling is a simple support device used to support and restrict movement in an injured arm or shoulder. It is typically made from a piece of cloth or fabric that wraps around the neck and helps the forearm rest. Slings keep the arm in a comfortable and secure position, allowing it to rest and heal after an injury or surgery. They are commonly used for fractures, strains, or sprains and can be adjusted to fit different body sizes. Proper use of a sling is important for encouraging recovery and preventing further injury.

What is "sling"?

Sling is a classic cocktail that dates back to the 19th century and is typically made with a base spirit, such as gin, whiskey, or rum, mixed with citrus juice, sweetener, and carbonated water. The drink is served over ice in a tall glass, often called a sling glass, and may be garnished with fruit or herbs. The sling has a refreshing and effervescent taste, with the base spirit providing a complex and flavorful backdrop that is balanced by the sweetness of the sweetener and the tanginess of the citrus. The carbonated water adds a bubbly texture to the drink, making it a great choice for warm weather or for those who prefer lighter and more refreshing cocktails. The sling is a versatile cocktail that can be customized to suit individual tastes and can be made with a wide range of spirits and mixers.
