Notes

Helpful Tips
  • Two solid gin brands I recommend are Blue Sapphire and Tangueray, but you can also use more budget friendly gins. Check out my guide to gin here.
  • You may be limited to what sloe gin brand you can buy at your local store. My store only had Leroux, but I prefer Hayman sloe gin when I can get it.
  • I do add simple syrup to this cocktail. Start with the 1/2 ounce and if it's not sweet enough, add another 1/2 ounce. But just know that you won't be able to taste the drink until the club soda has been added. You can stir in more simple syrup after that if you like.
  • You will need one lemon more than what the recipe calls for. The reason is that you are going to cut 2 wedges for garnish.
  • Wash your lemons well before juicing or adding directly to the cocktail. Here are two different ways:
    • 1. Use a fruit/veggie cloth. One side of the cloth is coarse and the other is smooth. Run cool water over the lemon and use the coarse side of the cloth to rub the skin of the lemon thoroughly. Rinse the lemon and set aside.
    • 2. Squirt some unscented, natural hand soap to your hands and rub the lemon with the soap. Take a vegetable brush and brush the skin to make sure you cover the whole lemon. Rinse well with cool water.
