The Proper Cocktail

Slings

The typical sling usually has several base ingredients, some type of alcohol, fruit flavors, particularly citrus, water (flat or fizzy), and sugar. In the 19th century, these drinks could be served hot or cold, and were very similar to many of the hot punches served at the time, though they typically lacked spices. The tradition of serving this drink cold, which is now the preferred method, came into popularity in the early 20th century, particularly with the invention of the Singapore Sling.

A screwdriver is a popular highball alcoholic drink made with orange juice and vodka. While the basic drink is simply the two ingredients, there are many variations; the Left Handed Screwdriver is gin and orange juice, and a Rusty Screw is brandy and orange juice. Many of the variations have different names in different parts of the world.
