🥃 Serve in: Cocktail Glass
Sloe gin's tart berry edge meets sweet vermouth here, turning deep red and faintly wine-like, with a lemon peel twist lifting the whole thing with a bright citrus aroma. It takes its name from the blackthorn bush sloe berries grow on -- a quiet, unassuming classic from cocktail books nobody reads anymore. If your only experience with sloe gin is a Sloe Gin Fizz, this is where to go next.
