How to Make Sloe Gin

Absolutely great KZbin channel to follow. Simple interesting and do-able in all its videos ) except for managing a temperate rainforest in the UK which we’ll leave to the experienced and skilled!)

Thanks Jack. It's great that you're enjoying the films and getting value from them. On temperate rainforests, you may like to know that we're planning a film with a wonderful organisation (moortrees.org/) near Dartmoor who run volunteer days collecting native seeds from these and other local woodlands and growing them in their nurseries to plant locally.

So you need gin to make sloe gin? Are the sloes essentially just flavouring then?

Aka, "gin liqueur."

Hi Matt. Yes, that's right, the sloes add flavouring to the gin (really great flavouring I should add!) and you can also do the same for other spirits like vodka. If you want to make an alcohol from the sloes themselves then try sloe wine which is one of my favourite berry wines. I'm always surprised at how such an unpalatable sour fruit to eat raw can make such tasty wine and gin.
