Sloe Gin Recipe
Sloe gin one year on! Our sloe gin recipe is continuing to prove popular with visitors to our Waterloo Farm blog, so I was keen to give an update one year on.
However, I must confess one year on it still tastes pretty disgusting to me. Now, this could be for anyone of the following reasons:
- I don’t actually like gin
- I don’t know what it is supposed to taste like having never drunk any before
- It is very bitter – perhaps more sugar?
- It tastes too much of sloes – perhaps we used to many?
I think I shall amend our sloe gin recipe to use more sugar and less sloes. Oh, I also think it might be a good idea to taste someone else’s sloe gin and see if it is meant to taste like this.
I am considering using it in a cocktail to see if that will help disguise the flavour. I found some amazing sloe gin cocktail recipes on the web, the hard bit was trying to find one that would not offend due to the name! I have gone for:
Sloe Gin Cocktail Recipe:
- 1 oz Sloe Gin
- 1/2 oz Peppermint Schnapps
- Cola
Now, I just need to find some cola and schnapps…it could be a long time!! LOL
