The Sloe Gin Fizz is a refreshing twist on the classic Gin Fizz, featuring the vibrant, tart flavors of sloe gin.
This gin-based liqueur, infused with sloe berries, is known for its rich, reddish-purple color and its sharp yet quaffable flavor. Though sloe gin has been popular in British winter drinks for centuries, it has found a home in the U.S. as the base for this bright, fizzy cocktail.
Paired with lemon, simple syrup, and club soda, the Sloe Gin Fizz creates a refreshing, fruity drink perfect for any occasion.
While the classic version skips the egg white used in many Gin Fizz recipes, you can always add it for a creamy texture and a richer body. For a unique twist, consider splitting the base between sloe gin and dry gin for a more balanced berry flavor.
