Sloe Gin Cocktail

Cocktail o'clock - by Amy Sinclair
  • 01 Apr 2019
Sloe Gin Cocktail
Prep: 10 Minutes - Cook: 5 Minutes - Easy - Serves 1 - Vegan
Proudly supported by

Sloe gin is easy to make, but takes at least two months to infuse, and shop-bought is just as good for this cocktail. We’ve based this recipe on
a gin Bramble, classically made with gin, lemon juice, sugar syrup and crème de mûre (blackberry liqueur). Here the botanical gin notes are cranked up with a juniper-infused syrup, resulting in a sweet, sharp and refreshing autumn tipple.

Ingredients

50ml sloe gin

25ml lemon juice

25ml gin

ice (crushed and cubes)

For the juniper syrup

100g white caster sugar

1 tbsp juniper berries

Method

  1. Start by making the juniper syrup. Put the sugar in a small saucepan, then add 100ml water and the juniper berries. Bring to the boil, then take off the heat and gently squash the berries in the liquid using a potato masher. Leave to steep until completely cold, then strain into a sterilised bottle or jar. Will keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

  2. Put the sloe gin, lemon juice, gin and 2 tsp of the syrup in a cocktail shaker with a few ice cubes. Shake well and strain into a tumbler filled with crushed ice. Serve immediately.
