We love picking ripe sloe berries and making our own sloe gin, but it is just as easy to buy sloe gin from one of the best distilleries in the world, cutting out a lot of steps in the process. Today, we are going to be taking a look at some of the best prosecco and sloe gin recipes.
1. A Prosecco Sloe Royale
Traditionally, a Sloe Royale would be made with champagne and used to celebrate special occasions and toast ornate events. For a festive touch, we would recommend crafting this festive sloe gin cocktail with prosecco, adding a twist to the classic recipe.
Ingredients:
– 25ml Sipsmith Sloe Gin
– 100ml Prosecco
Method:
1. Take a traditional champagne flute and pour in your Sipsmith Sloe Gin. You might want to experiment with this ratio, as some people prefer stronger ratios of gin to prosecco.
2. Top your glass up with prosecco.
3. For an additional festive touch, you could consider adding some edible glitter into the mix.

2. A Sloe Gin Fizz Delight
We are big fans of mixing traditional gins with sloe gins, especially when the colder months of the year mean that you require a little bit of an extra pick-me-up. In this cocktail recipe, we combine two of our favourite gins, each containing a plethora of different botanicals.
Ingredients:
– 10ml Monkey 47 Gin
– 25ml Monkey 47 Sloe Gin

1. Half-fill your cocktail shaker with ice. Pour in your Monkey 47 Gin, Monkey 47 Sloe Gin, lemon juice and sugar syrup. Shake until all of your ingredients have combined.

3. Top off your cocktail with prosecco. You might want to experiment with the ratio until you find something that really suits you.
