Sloe and Low: Gin, Sloe Gin, Lemon, Maraschino

Sloe Gin cocktail with blackberry and lemon

I never knew what a sloe berry was until I learned that they were in gin. Apparently, they’re pretty disgusting unless they’re soaked in gin. I’ve been looking for sloe gin in the NYC liquor stores (ie: 10-block radius around my apartment) and I finally found some when I was visiting Texas in February! This recipe comes from Julie Reiner’s “Craft Cocktail Party.”
