🍒🌴 What happens when a Singapore Sling takes a vacation to Croatia?

Meet the Croatia Sling — my twist on the classic Singapore Sling, featuring one of Croatia’s most iconic spirits: Maraschino Cherry Liqueur. ✨

Made from authentic Marasca cherries grown along Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast, Maraschino Cherry Liqueur brings rich cherry flavor, subtle almond notes, and a smooth, balanced sweetness that’s far more complex than your typical cherry liqueur. It’s vibrant, versatile, and adds incredible depth to cocktails.

In this Croatia Sling, those cherry notes pair beautifully with botanical gin, bright lime juice, tropical pineapple, and zesty orange triple sec. A splash of maraschino cherry juice amplifies the fruit while Angostura bitters add just enough spice and complexity to keep every sip interesting. Finished with bubbly club soda, it’s refreshing, balanced, and perfect for warm-weather sipping.

Whether you’re hosting a summer happy hour, relaxing on the patio, planning a backyard BBQ, or simply looking to shake up your cocktail routine, this one is worth saving. 🍹☀️

🍒 Croatia Sling 🍒

Ingredients:

1.5 oz gin
½ oz Maraska Maraschino Cherry Liqueur
½ oz quality triple sec
1 oz pineapple juice
¼ oz maraschino cherry juice
½ oz fresh lime juice
1 dash Angostura bitters
Club soda (to top)

Garnish: Lime slice + maraschino cherry 🍋‍🟩🍒

The official tasting notes were fine. These felt more accurate. 😆🍹

This week I had the chance to try Agave Boom Margarita premium ready-to-drink margaritas made with real agave wine, pure volcanic water, and natural ingredients.

Apparently they also pair exceptionally well with girls trip planning, beach house daydreaming, patio season, and checking flight prices when you should probably be working. 😂☀️

What flavor is most you? 👀🍹
