About

The Vodka Sling is a classic long drink that predates the famous Singapore Sling by decades, rooted in the original American 'sling' format: a spirit, citrus juice, sweetener, and water (later replaced by soda). Made with vodka, the sling becomes a clean, refreshing highball — lemon-bright and lightly sweetened, topped with club soda for effervescence. It's a simple, elegant cocktail that has never needed complexity to be satisfying. The Vodka Sling belongs to the same cocktail lineage as the Collins, the Fizz, and the Rickey, and it demonstrates how well the classic long-drink format works as a vehicle for vodka's clean, adaptable character.
