Like Paul Virant, Vie bar manager Mike Page and pastry chef Todd Feitl think hyper-seasonally. They based this sweet-tart concoction on the classic Singapore sling, replacing the traditional cherry brandy with an intensely vibrant homemade sour-cherry syrup. With a squirt of sparkling water, the syrup also makes a great base for kid-friendly cherry soda.

Sour-Cherry Gin Slings

These cocktails were lucious!  Worth the effort to find the sour cherries and make the syrup.  The syrup is also great in virgin beverages for those who chose not to use alcohol or those who are to young to use it.  We had two pounds of cherries so made extra syrup, which held nicely in the fridge for several days.  We got "thumbs up" from everyone who had this syrup in any kind of beverage.
