How to make a classic Gin Sling cocktail. This is the original before it went to Singapore featuring Gin, Sweet Vermouth and Lemon. A nice blend of sweet and tart creates a classic flavor profile that's really refreshing.
Ingredients
1 1/2 oz gin
3/4 oz simple syrup
1/2 oz sweet vermouth
3/4 oz fresh lemon juice (about half a lemon)
3 dashes Angostura bitters
Tonic water or club soda.
Lemon peel for garnish
Instructions
Add ice to a cocktail shaker
Add all ingredients except the tonic water to the shaker.
Shake well for at least 10 seconds
Strain into a highball or old fashioned glass.
Top off with tonic water, stir gently to incorporate the tonic water.

The use of large ice cubes made especially for cocktail drinks means less water melt into your drink.
