The Sloe Gin Fizz is probably the most famous sloe gin cocktail out there and it was born at the beginning of 20th century. The traditional Sloe Gin Fizz is refreshingly chilled and yummyliciously balances the sweet against tart ft. an elixir of a lovely lime prosecco.
The traditional Sloe Gin Fizz comprises of sloe gin, lemon, sugar, and club soda. However, our version of Sloe Gin Fizz includes a part of club soda and a part prosecco.
Sloes are the fruits of Prunus Spinosa, tiny berries that grow in hedgerows in the surrounding areas of England – you may also say that they’re relatives of plum.
When sloes are infused in gin, they develop a rich tart flavor.
Already feeling that icy, tarty cocktail, aren’t we?
Sloes are a lovely gift of autumn. You may not be able to get your hands on this cocktail around the year if you’re used to doing the gin yourself.
However, a matured sloe gin bottle would do just fine as well.
If that’s enough of a teaser for you, let us hook you up with our 1-drink recipe of Sloe Gin Fizz!

How Do You Make A Sloe Gin Fizz with Prosecco?

Some More Ways To Experiment With This Cocktail
- One way to experiment with the cocktail is to have separate layers of gin and sloe gin. It results in a cocktail that’s both gin fizz and sloe gin fizz. With a touch of prosecco and club soda, you’re bound to imbibe a plethora of tastes in one take.
- A gin fizz normally has an egg white for a creamy texture – weird flex but true. The sloe gin fizz version actively skips that part but you don’t necessarily have to skip it. Finishing the above recipe with an egg white will give you richer nutrients and a thicker head.
- If you aren’t a club soda fan and you’d want that extra hit of prosecco, feel free to replace the 30ml Club Soda with prosecco.
