Currently out of sloe gin but made a very nice drink with damson gin. Also recommended with patxaran instead of sloe gin.

I appreciate this little gem of a sipper and was able to open an Irish sloe gift. Used: Minke Sloe, Cocchi VDT, Dolin Dry, BT Orange and 1821 Prohibition Aromatic. Lovely. I love an “around the house cocktail” something for whilst cooking or doing house work, unwinding etc. this will certainly be part of my Rolodex of around the housers. Smoothing but not one that will get you shnockered, so you can still run to the market for a missing ingredient for your braise/roast.

By "bijou serve", do you mean small and elegant?

So much flavor from a simple, equal parts cocktail! Quite sweet, with cinnamon-spice notes. Excellent!

A perfect little cocktail. The Internet sweetness and fruitiness of the sloe gin is opened and balanced by the herbal and drying characteristics of the vermouths. Beautiful! I served in a mini martini glass xx

Very vermouth forward. Not unpleasant but I think I would double the gin next time - probably perfection for me then.

This is a lovely, soft sip. Not too boozy, just a hint of sweetness.

This was very mellow and vermouth-forward (which will suit some drinkers, like my husband, perfectly!) For my part, I missed some of the punchiness / bite of gin. I’m going to try adding in some additional London Dry next time to try to sharpen it up :)
