Go Sloe
Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.89 / 5
The Go Sloe cocktail is a sweet and tart beverage that combines the rich berry flavors of sloe gin with the crispness of vodka, balanced by the refreshing fizz of lemonade. Typically served in a highball glass, this drink offers a visually appealing and effervescent experience that's perfect for sipping on a warm day or as a lively accompaniment to a casual gathering. The sloe gin imparts a deep red hue and a fruity, almond-like taste derived from sloe berries, while the vodka provides a smooth and neutral base that allows the sloe gin to shine. The addition of lemonade introduces a citrus zing that rounds out the drink and makes it an accessible option for those who enjoy a fruit-forward cocktail with a gentle kick.
