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.
