Hello everybody, I hope you are having an amazing day today. Today, I will show you a way to prepare a distinctive dish, sloe gin. It is one of my favorites food recipes. For mine, I will make it a bit unique. This is gonna smell and look delicious.
Sloe gin is a British red liqueur made with gin and sloes. Sloes are the fruit (drupe) of Prunus spinosa, a relative of the plum. Sloe Gin is a Gin-based Liqueur which is made by infusing sloe berries, from the blackthorn bush, in Gin. The Gin takes on the colour and the sugar content from the sloes, resulting in a sweet, berry coloured Liqueur.
Sloe Gin is one of the most popular of recent trending meals in the world. It is simple, it’s fast, it tastes yummy. It’s enjoyed by millions every day. Sloe Gin is something which I have loved my whole life. They are nice and they look wonderful.
To begin with this particular recipe, we have to prepare a few ingredients. You can have sloe gin using 2 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.
The ingredients needed to make Sloe Gin:
- Prepare 500 ml Gin
- Get 250 g Sloes
Try in your favorite martinis or margaritas. Tastes great served over ice or neat. The difference between Gin and Sloe Gin is: Gin is Gin, but Sloe Gin is a Gin Liqueur. It's made by mixing Gin and Sloes.
Steps to make Sloe Gin:
- Gather all your ingredients together. I'm reusing some old rhubarb gin that didn't quite work out, which is why it looks dodgy. - - You'll need 50% of your gin volume in sloes.
- Rinse your sloes
- Prick the skins. This lets the gin permeate the fruit and take on the flavour. Some people freeze the sloes to do this, but that can make the fruit a bit mushy. I've rolled a grater over the tops of the sloes instead. Quick and easy.
- Add the sloes to the bottle and pour over the gin
- Give it a shake. You should shake it once a week for the first few weeks.
- Now leave it in the cupboard for at least 3 months. Someone recently told me that 1-year gin is nice, 3-year better, but 5-year is super smooth. 10-year becomes something else entirely. So it's down to you and your patience now! - - When you come to finish or decant your gin, don't throw out the sloes. Apparently you can use them in chocolate! Recipe to follow in a year 😂
The difference between Gin and Sloe Gin is: Gin is Gin, but Sloe Gin is a Gin Liqueur. It's made by mixing Gin and Sloes. Most good Sloe gins will be sweet to the taste, whilst maintaining the base Gib botanicals and Juniper flavours. The best Sloe Gin for your money is Gordon's Sloe Gin. Rich berry red in colour and sweet to taste, sloe gin is the perfect winter warming tipple when the weather starts to turn a little nippier.
