Honey-Sweetened Sloe Gin Recipe

So, what will you need:

• 300g sloes (washed and frozen overnight)
• 700ml good quality Gin
• 150–200g delicious honey 

Now the fun part, the method:

• Pop your sloes in the freezer overnight to split the skins. We actually prick the berries with a needle, to mimic a thorn and help the juices seep in with the Gin.
• Add them to a sterilised jar and cover with Gin.
• Seal tightly and store in a cool, dark cupboard for approximately 8 weeks or so, shaking gently every few days.
• Strain, taste, and then stir in your warmed honey a little at a time until it’s just right. 
• Bottle, label, and let it rest for a few weeks before pouring your first glass.

How should you serve this:

• Serve chilled over ice, or top with fizz for a festive Sloe Royale.
• Another option is to pour into our Muth Jars and give as a gift. Delicious and beautiful!

Why use honey?:

• Honey adds natural sweetness without the harsh edge of refined sugar. It gives your homemade gin a golden glow and subtle floral notes that perfectly complement the deep, berry-rich flavour of sloes.
• A kinder sweetness, straight from the hive.
