A sling cocktail gets its name from “schlingen,” a German word meaning “to swallow,” and consists of a spirit mixed with sugar and water or soda. One version of the world-famous Singapore Sling, created in the early twentieth century at Raffles hotel in Singapore, contains gin, Grand Marnier, cherry liqueur, Benedictine, pineapple, lime, bitters, and club soda. Here, vodka substitutes for gin and ginger beer for club soda, while Runny Honey stands in for the sweet liqueurs. Fresh-pressed ginger juice gives this Caribbean sling its sharp, peppery edge.
