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:

1. I don’t actually like gin
2. I don’t know what it is supposed to taste like having never drunk any before
3. It is very bitter – perhaps more sugar?
4. 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.
