Sloe Gin Cocktail Recipes

Sloe Gin Over Ice

The purist’s way to drink sloe gin.

  • 50ml Nonesuch Sloe Gin
  • Garnish (Optional)

Gently pour the Sloe Gin into a tumbler over ice. Enjoy on its own or garnish with lime, lemon or an orange wedge.

 

Sloe Gin and Tonic

The classic Gin and Tonic has always been the definitive drink on our balmy evenings and sunny days.  Now, it has a rival. 

  • 30ml Nonesuch Sloe Gin

  • 75ml Tonic

Fill a highball glass with ice. By fill we mean right to the brim, not just one or two little ice cubes. Pour in the sloe gin and top it up with tonic. Stir briefly to combine the two and garnish with orange, lemon, lime strawberry or anything else that you prefer.

You can also substitute the Tonic with Bitter Lemon for an equally easy to make, refreshing summer drink.

 

Sloe Champagne Fizz

This is a cocktail to impress with.  Nonesuch Sloe Gin also matches wonderfully with Champagne and the egg white delivers a dash of light froth.   

  • 25ml Nonesuch Sloe Gin

  • 25ml freshly squeezed lemon juice

  • 25ml simple syrup

  • 1 egg white

  • Champagne

Combine the first four ingredients in an empty cocktail shaker without any ice and shake. Make sure you shake before adding in any ice so that the cocktail properly creams.  Now add in some ice and shake again. Strain the mixture into a cocktail glass or a white wine glass and top it up with Champagne. 

 

Sloe Motion

  • 25ml Nonesuch Sloe Gin

  • Brut Champagne

Pour the Sloe Gin into a chilled champagne flute, top it up with Champagne and garnish with a twist of lemon peel. Take care and only use the zest of the lemon as the white pith under the skin will cause the drink to taste bitter.

 

Sloe Gin Sour

  • 50 ml Nonesuch Sloe Gin
  • 20 ml simple syrup
  • 25 ml lemon juice
  • 1 egg white
Add the Nonesuch Sloe Gin, simple syrup, lemon juice and egg white in to a shaker. 

Shake everything without ice. 
When mixed well, add ice and shake again until chilled. 
Strain in to a cocktail glass

Sloe Charlie Chaplin

Add all three ingredients to an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake well and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Finally, garnish with an orange or lime twist.
