Review

Reminiscent of a fruity screwdriver with a botanical gin character. When made with a good slow gin and freshly squeezed orange juice this is a great brunch cocktail.

The sloe gin leads - very sloe berry forward while the strong berry flavor leaves you expecting overwhelming sweetness it never materializes, and instead morphs into an vegetal flavor (IMO - celery) that takes the drink into a long finish. I didn't enjoy it much, although the alchemy (sloe gin + dry gin + OJ = celery??) was interesting.
