This bittersweet Sling is a little less exotic than the Singapore Sling, keeping its ingredients more or less grounded in apple pie notes rather than citrus. And you don't see bourbon Slings everyday. I think of this as a fall cocktail for those who need to keep things on the light and refreshing side. And it's great: you don't feel bogged down with sweetness or pumpkin spice.
I don't have Amaro Averna, but I know that it has a bitter orange peel flavor that I tried to replicate with a mix of Don Ciccio & Figili Ambrosia and my homemade Amer Picon (which has Ramazzotti with its orange flavors in it as well). The rest was made simply by combining ingredients and preparing the orange flag with the cherry target center.
- 2 oz. bourbon
- 1/4 oz. Amaro Averna (Ambrosia and Amer Picon used)
- 3/4 oz. fuji apple juice
- 1/2 oz. lemon juice
- 3/4 oz. vanilla syrup
- 1 dash orange bitters (Hella used)
- 1 orange flag with cherry and barrel-aged bitters dashed on it as garnish
Combine all liquid ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake and strain into a highball glass full of ice cubes. Garnish with the orange flag and dash bitters on it.
