You might have heard of sloe gin before, but what exactly is it and how is it different from regular gin?
Sloes are a type of fruit, part of the same family as cherries and plums and Sloe Gin is made by infusing gin with ripe sloes and usually adding sugar to the mix. This is then left to mature over several months and then strained off, leaving you with a tasty, sweet and fruity liqueur. The alcohol content varies between 15-30% ABV but EU regulations state that to be called Sloe Gin, it must have a minimum of 25% ABV.
There are a number of fantastic sloe gins available, including 6 O’clock Sloe Gin, Sipsmith Sloe Gin, Elephant Sloe Gin and Hayman’s Sloe Gin however, it’s really easy to make your own at home, especially if you have access to fresh sloes.
Here, ILoveGin explores some fantastic recipes for how to make your own sloe gin from home, as well as what differentiates this kind from other gins, sloe gin cocktails and more.

English distiller J.J. Whitley have a delicious Pink Cherry Gin that you just need to try!
We love Tarquin’s and after recently trying their Blackberry Gin, we love them even more! If you are not a massive fan of tonic water either, this gin works beautifully with Sicilian Lemonade and a sprig of mint!
The creators of Silent Pool Gin aimed to capture the essence of England’s beautiful, rural landscape. With a distillery on the bank of the spring-fed Silent Pool, along with 24 unique botanicals…they have definitely succeeded! Not to mention the bottle design is extremely eye-catching! 😍
Fruity gins are so popular and this one is definitely one to try! Plum is part of the rose family alongside cherries, apples and pears. It’s no wonder that J.J Whitley Plum Gin can be enjoyed in a number of delicious ways…
Blood orange season is here! These oranges are beautifully coloured, sweet, and well worth enjoying during their short season! We know the perfect gin to celebrate! English distiller J.J Whitley have a delicious Blood Orange edition that you just need to try!
Because we have been drinking a lot of Gin lately, mass-production and the consequent standardisation of flavours has become the norm to satisfy our thirst for this juniper based spirit. Tarquin brought back the beauty of craftsmanship and we are VERY grateful for it! This gin is produced in tiny batches on the coast of north Cornwall and every batch has a slightly different flavour. Unbottling Tarquin’s gin is pretty much like opening a Kinder egg, you never know what surprise you are going to get but it never disappoints 😉
