Sloe Gin Fizz
A Sloe Gin Fizz is a perfect blend of tangy and sweet flavors, with the richness of sloe gin complemented by the freshness of lemon juice and the sweetness from the simple syrup. I love the addition of club soda, which adds a refreshing enthusiasm that makes it supremely refreshing on a warm summer day, at a picnic, or as a pre-dinner drink at a gathering with friends.
Sloe Gin Negroni
A Sloe Gin Negroni is a unique, delightful, and sophisticated twist on the classic negroni cocktail, featuring sloe gin as the leading spirit instead of gin. The sloe gin brings a fruity sweetness that balances the bitter notes from Campari and the herbal complexity of the vermouth. The result is a well-balanced cocktail, perfect for those who enjoy a slightly sweeter and fruitier take on the traditional Negroni.
Sloe Gin Pink Lady
A Slow Gin Pink Lady is one of my favorite cocktails to feature as an aperitif at a classy cocktail party because of its lovely appearance and delectable taste. The grenadine, egg white, and lemon juice combined with the sloe gin give this cocktail a beautiful pink hue and a slightly tart, creamy flavor that pairs perfectly with light appetizers.
Millionaire Cocktail
Sipping on this Millionaire Cocktail makes me feel like a million bucks, thanks to the delightful medley of sloe gin, apricot, and rum. The rich caramel notes from rum pair beautifully with the sweet and tangy flavors of apricot liqueur, while the fruity sweetness of sloe gin adds another layer of complexity.
Sloe Gin & Lemonade
Sloe Gin & Lemonade is an irresistible, refreshing drink on a hot summer day especially. Combining the tart lemonade flavor with the berry-based liqueur creates a harmonious blend that is both refreshing and satisfying.
Sloe Gin Punch
A Sloe Gin Punch is a refreshing delight thanks to the simple combination of sloe gin and lime flavors. It’s perfect for those who appreciate a simple yet inviting mixture and lime-focused cocktails for spring and summer sipping.
Raspberry Sloe Gin Fizz Cocktail
If you’re hoping to create a lovely, well-balanced, and refreshing cocktail featuring the tart and sweet flavors of raspberry and lime juice, you’re in for a treat with a Raspberry Sloe Gin Fizz cocktail. I appreciate the fresh mint and lime wedge garnish which adds a touch of freshness and visual appeal.
Alabama Slammer
Alabama Slammer is a fun and vibrant drink I love making for energetic parties and gatherings. The Southern Comfort adds a warm and sweet note, the sloe gin brings a fruity and slightly tart taste, and the amaretto adds a nutty and almond-like richness, creating a smooth and balanced profile.
Red Death
The Red Death is another cocktail that features amaretto, Southern Comfort, and sloe gin all in one beverage, but it also includes vodka and triple sec. As you might expect from the name, the ingredients, or both, this drink isn’t for the faint of heart! I love making this when I want to savor one good, strong drink for the evening.

Charlie Chaplin is a relatively simple drink combining only three ingredients – sloe gin, apricot liqueur, and lime juice – but it is light and flavorless. In actuality, the simplicity of this cocktail gives it a perfect balance of flavors and textures, making it a fantastic choice for a fruity and refreshing libation.
