Sloe Gin
Sloe gin has been made all over the British Isles for centuries and has acquired a bit of mystery around the ways of making it. Sloes are the small, bitter fruits of the blackthorn bush (Prunus Spinosa) and are gathered in the autumn mostly for adding to gin, and sometimes vodka and other spirits.
You only need sloes, sugar and gin to make your own sloe gin. It really is that simple. Pick, prick, bottle - and that's it! The sloe.biz recipe and site has been the inspiration for thousands of new makers since the mid nineties. The Forum was created in 2004 on the new sloe.biz domain.
Welcome to sloe.biz from creator Brian Donnan - aka Blackthorn.
