CLASSIC STRUCTURE

What is usually in it

1 part Cherry Heering

1 part Soda water

1 part Orange juice

cubes Ice

Method: 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.
Glass: Cocktail glass
Garnish: Citrus garnish

Recipes and serving sizes vary by bar. ABV is an approximate guide.
