How To Make Sloe Gin - A Complete Guide

My guide to making what I consider to be a top class homemade Sloe Gin. (Skip to 1min 48 sec for the method if you can't wait!)
This video covers finding & picking your Sloes, prepping them, ratios of ingredients, all equipment needed, adding everything to the jar and finally bottling of the final product - in this case a jar that's been in the cupboard for 2 years! B-E-A-utiful!

No probs at all.

Very light in colour m8 usually means too much sugar to sloes. Each to their own of course and an awesome drink, use your spent sloes with brandy to get the most from them tastes great.
My personal favourite is blackberry vodka , stunning on its own and ready in just a month 👍

wow that's a lot of sugar I do about 1/2 that but each to their own!

Any use for the left over sloes once they have done their magic, compost bin, animal feed, any ideas?

[@jamesofcosh67]

Not a lot of use for them really - I generally put them in the compost or scatter them on the garden - give the wildlife a drink to warm them up in winter

[@ballygarran]

@@jamesofcosh67 that will do. As long as they avoid the bin. Thanks for reply

Way to much sugar for me, half that amount and it will still be very sweet.
