Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

1

Prepare Sloe Berries

Wash the sloe berries thoroughly and remove any stems or leaves. Pat them dry with a clean cloth.

2

Combine Ingredients

In a large sterilized jar, layer the sloe berries and granulated sugar. Pour the London dry gin over the top, ensuring the berries are fully submerged.

3

Infuse

Seal the jar tightly and store it in a cool, dark place. Shake the jar gently every few days to help dissolve the sugar and mix the ingredients.

4

Wait

Allow the mixture to infuse for at least 3 months, but preferably 6 months for the best flavor.

5

Strain and Bottle

After the infusion period, strain the liquid through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bottle, discarding the solids. If desired, add the water to adjust the sweetness and alcohol content.

6

Serve

The sloe gin is now ready to be enjoyed. Serve it over ice, with tonic water, or use as a cocktail ingredient.
