Sloe gin recipes

At this time of year my thoughts turn to the making of sloe gin.

Over the years I have experimented and now include in some batches cloves and cinnamon.

I have also found that less sugar is more to my taste, and have again experimented with Demerara and Muscovado rather than Tate & Lyle.

Sloes not yet ripe in north Essex, but should be soon.

Just about the best drink on a frosty morning in the garden.

    Thank you so much for that recipe AWB. It sounds absolutely delicious. Just got to find sloes now.

  • Got good amounts down here in Hampshire. Well short of ready yet. I still prefer sloes, gin, sugar (1:1:0.5) and nothing else.

    I like to mix sloes and damsons
