A sloe gin sour with a touch of almond. If you opt not to follow my addition of vanilla bitters, then consider dropping the orgeat to 5ml (1 bar spoon)

Ooh, this is a great Xmas drink - all berries and marzipan flavours. I've just decanted off this year's sloe gin especially to make it (we had an incredible crop of blackthorn fruit in Cumbria, UK, this year).
