History
This is a modern, no-added-sugar take on the classic Gin Sling, swapping in a sugar-free sweetener syrup so the drink keeps its balance of citrus, sweetness, and soda without the calories of sugar syrup. The Gin Sling itself descends from the sling, a simple mix of spirit, sugar, and water that was already common in America by the late 18th century.
