Gin

'There, there, my dear boy,' he said, 'come and have a sloe gin. That's the real answer to all beastly problems.'

A fallacy with some drinks is that they belong only to a certain season or should only be served one way Chilled red wine sounds like a abomination to some, but is particularly popular in Spain. Sloe gin is often seen as a mere Christmas drink, but this would be a grave injustice.

Any fruity alcohol will have a variety of uses and this is no different for Sloe gin - or Damson or Bullace for that matter. Here are a few different wats to ensure that this is a drink for all seasons
