Revisiting. Love these classic recipes and the unapologetic flavour hits. Sweet, sour, fruity and lovely touch of palate cleansing bitterness at the end - with a vermouth di Torino as suggested. It’s a classic for a reason!

Also tried 35ml London dry, 25 sloe, which worked very nicely for a gin lover like me. Intensified the dry-sweet-herbal-bitter contrasts.

Accidentally used a Nick & Nora, but the measure fit perfectly and seemed to intensify the flavours even.

Made with Luxardo sour Cherry gin in place of the London dry. Very very tasty. And worked well with all the fruit flavours.

I used Four Pillars Bloody Shiraz Gin for this, and wow. The Shiraz gin and sloe gin are amazing together.

I used an apple and rhubarb gin and it worked so well

I think the title of this cocktail is wrong; pretty sure this is not non-alcoholic.

Thanks Chris. Now fixed. I'd checked one too many boxes on our admin system which generated non-alcoholic title.

Although I've had som reservations regarding Sipsmith Sloegin's "thinner" flavour, it works well here with a fruity vermouth. (I used Grassotti Torino.) Add to favorites.
