Take It Nice And Sloe

摘要

Sloe gin suffers from a smarmy reputation in the United States-harsh products used in saccharine drinks with lurid names. But now a world-class sloe gin has arrived from England, produced by one of the great gin distillers, Plymouth. Sloe berries-a kind of wild plum-are placed in straight gin, where they infuse the spirit with a wondrous combination of flavors (plum, blackberry, cherry, marzipan, cloves) and lend a rich burgundy color. Plymouth may revive the sloe-gin fizz as an amazing summer refresher (with or without the creamy froth that comes from using egg whites).
