Slings are one of the older types of mixed drinks, pre-dating even the word cocktail. This one uses a syrup made with our Noga N17 blend to add brightness, depth, and just a touch of heat. Here's looking forward to when we can all raise a glass together again in person!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup mineral or filtered tap water
  • 1 cup raw sugar
  • 2 Tbsp Noga N17
  • Optional but recommended, 4 thin slices of fresh ginger
  • 3 ounces gin
  • 1 1/2 ounces Noga syrup (2 ounces if you prefer your cocktails on the sweeter side)
  • 1 1/2 ounces fresh lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 ounces sweet vermouth
  • A couple dashes of Angostura bitters
  • Seltzer
  • 2 (2" pieces) of lemon zest

Directions

  1. To prepare the syrup: In a small saucepan bring one cup of water to a boil and then drop to a simmer, add the sugar, Noga, and ginger (if using) and stir well. Simmer for 15 minutes, then strain through a coffee filter and store in a clean bottle. Allow to cool, then store in the refrigerator for up to a month.
  2. For the cocktail: In a cocktail shaker filled with ice combine all ingredients except the garnish and seltzer and shake gently until chilled. Divide between two Collins glasses filled with fresh ice and fill with seltzer. Stir each gently with a straw and garnish with the lemon zest.
