Cocktail Description

The Tartan Orchard Sling marries the smoky depth of Scotch whisky with the lush sweetness of orchard fruits in a surprisingly refreshing package.

This elegant cocktail balances the rich, peaty notes of Johnnie Walker Black Label with layers of fruit from Chambord's raspberry richness, Giffard's apricot warmth, and the bright crispness of pressed apple juice. The Galliano adds subtle vanilla and herbal complexity that ties everything together. Served in a tall, ice-filled sling glass and garnished with a fresh apple wedge, it's remarkably simple to make despite its sophisticated flavor profile. The Tartan Orchard Sling works beautifully for autumn gatherings or holiday parties, but its refreshing character makes it equally appealing on a summer evening. Pair it with smoked salmon canapés, aged cheeses, or apple desserts to complement both the fruity and smoky elements of this versatile cocktail.
