Sloe Gin/ Vodka Recipes

[GazDavison_91 14]

Hi,

 

Ive been looking over the internet and there seems to be lots and lots of ways/recipes for making your sloe fin/vodka etc.

 

Just wondered if any one on here made there own?

 

Can any body give me any tips?

 

Quite fancy having a go at making some myself.

 

Regards

im doing my sloe gin again this year, i use 454g (1 pound) of sloes and 250g of sugar mixed with 750ml of gin, turn every day (do not shake) untill the sugars disolved, then after that every few days i give it a good old shake, it changes colour after a few days, then after a 4 months i will test and then remove the slows through muslin, and whats left of the sloes ill just make up a random guess 'sloe gin' last years turned out quite nice

Do any of you reuse the sloes for putting with cider have heard it's got a kick

No mate this will be the first time I have ever made my own.

 

Looking forward to seeing how it tastes.

sloe gin/rasp vodka/damson gin/blackberry vodka all made the same kilo of fruit and 1lb sugar into a demi john and add 2ltrs of gin/vodka and shake each day until sugar dissolves then once a week for 6 weeks then once a month until you cannot leave it any longer and strain and bottle drop 5ml of glycerin into each bottle to make it smoother on the tongue and bisto it's done

 

gonna have a go at making the kings ginger too soon

you've probably made this now but freezing your sloes helps break the skin releasing the flavour

and is quicker than pricking
