How to Mix a Santa Sling Cocktail
A Santa Sling cocktail is an exotic alcoholic drink which is similar to the traditional Singapore Sling. It is an excellent drink, which is ideal for thirst quenching purposes during hot summer days. Almost every bar serves this refreshing drink, but you can also prepare it at home. Mixing a Santa Sling at home is a fairly easy task and is economical as well. Several sour and sweet juices are mixed with gin, triple sec, and cherry brandy in a cocktail shaker, and served cold. Do not forget to garnish your drink with a pineapple slice and a glace cherry.
