Made up of the famous British red liquor, luscious raspberry goodness, and prosecco, the Sloe Gin And Prosecco Cocktail is one of the most widely enjoyed sloe drinks. Sloes, being the drupe of Prunus Spinosa, are the relative of plum.
The drinks comprising of the sloe gin and champagne were popularly enjoyed through the 1960s! The Waldorf-Astoria created in 1920 also featured Sloe Gin as a primary ingredient. In another reference, a very long polemical poem on British ills dating back to 1717 refers to beverages made up of sloes and sugar.
Since the sloe gin was traditionally drunk as a warming drink in the depths of winter, we also suggest you to enjoy this drink in the cold times of the year.
However, if you plan on enjoying this cocktail in the summer as, just remember to add club soda to the recipe we’ll be sharing with you.
