Apple Sling

★ 4.2 · 108 ratings in Cocktail Art

The Apple Sling is a light, refreshing highball cocktail that pairs the herbal complexity of Czech Becherovka with sweet apple juice and bitter tonic water. With its low alcohol content and crisp, sour profile, it makes an excellent afternoon drink or a casual evening sipper. It is incredibly easy to prepare directly in the glass.

How to make a Apple Sling

Build it in a highball with ice cubes. About 2 minutes.

  1. Fill a highball glass with ice cubes.
  2. Pour the Becherovka, apple juice, and tonic water into the glass.
  3. Gently stir the mixture with a bar spoon to combine.
  4. Garnish with an apple wedge.

Bartender’s tips

  • If you cannot find Becherovka, you can substitute it with Jagermeister for a different but equally complex herbal profile.
  • Use chilled apple juice and tonic water to keep the drink cold and prevent the ice cubes from melting too quickly.
