Strong Sloe Gin

[dinah60]

HI. I made sloe gin in the winter but it is very strong. I would appreciate any tips you may have on diluting the strength of this drink. Many thanks.

Save until the summer and drink with lemonade and a slice of lime (single squeeze).

Great idea, many thanks AB Editor

There's also these cocktails: http://www.drinksmixer.com/cat/2048/ although I doubt they'll be much reducing the potency!

Not exactly diluting it, but mixed with champagne it makes an interesting version of Kir Royale!

Funny stuff sloe gin, a bottle of ordinary gin can remain at the back of the back of the drinks cupboad for years but sloe gin seems to disappear after a few days. Do you think it evaporates?

[tinkerbell23]

Normal gin seems to disappear around me...same.. Err must evaporate or erm...hide LOL x

my sloe gin gets diluted with a couple of ice cubes, anything else is sacrilege!

I was given some sloe vodka for Crimbo & I tried it last night. It was spot on. I made loads of sloe gin last year, so I'll been adding sloe vodka to my repertoir.
