Sloe gin takes its character from sloes, the small, tart fruit of the blackthorn. Traditionally steeped in gin with sugar, they produce a fruit-led liqueur that balances sweetness with a tangy edge and the underlying botanicals. Bottles vary in richness and sweetness, so the style can offer more than its familiar deep colour suggests. It can be sipped in a small measure, poured over ice or lengthened with soda for a lighter-tasting serve. For a cocktail, try a sloe gin fizz with lemon and soda, adjusting any added sweetness to the character of the bottle.
