5 ways to make a SLOE GIN FIZZ - a refreshing drink for cooler weather!

Today we're making the Sloe Gin Fizz! This is a classic bubbly drink that's a perfect late summer/early autumn drink. Technically sloe gin is not a gin, but a gin-based liqueur. It's sweet, fruity, slightly tart, and easy to sip on or mix into a drink. This recipe is fairly simple, so I thought it'd be fun to mix it up with a few different spirits to see how they enhance the drink. We'll keep sloe gin as the base and try renditions with Navy Strength Gin, Cognac, Pisco, and Campari. Experimenting like this can inspire new flavor combinations and drink recipes. Enjoy the lineup! Cheers!

Anyone else excited for fall?
Great timing it's finally not 100 degrees outside! Definitely going to try this drink later!
I’m excited for Spring…
Yess sirr
Heck yeah!
I’m ready for fall!😁
I am soft opening my new bar this weekend, and I want you to know that your videos are what I have been sending out as a curriculum to make sure we are all on the same page as far as technique and education. You have done so much for my career, and I am making sure the knowledge I have benefited from continues to flow and influence great talent in this industry. Thank you my dude ❤
Congratulations on your opening! Happy the content is helpful, and appreciate the support. All the best to you and your team on the new venture! Cheers
If you're picking sloe berries yourself either wait until after the first frosty nights or throw the berries into the freezer for a day. If you don't do that the berries will be extremely bitter. After they've been frozen they'll still retain some bitterness, but most of the tannins will be broken down to bring out the unique flavor.
It's similar with persimmons. I pick them frozen solid, still on the tree.
While it may be a lower ABV drink, Loretta Lynn and Jack White taught me that Sloe Gin Fizz works mighty fast when you drink it by the pitcher and not by the glass.
Love it when Anders appears to start off a video already just a little buzzed.
I really enjoy your takes/riffs on these classic cocktails. It makes want to invite my friends over and start mixing sloe gin fizzes (fizzi)!! Thanks for the great ideas!
Yes please do more of this format
TO THE BAR! ➡️🥃
Fun fact about the sloe berries. They are sour but you usually harvest them after the first frost. Thats when they become a little sweeter. Im todays age you can harvest them and just put them in the freezer for 1 or 2 days and have the same results. We have sloe berry bushes in the fields and I think I am gonna get some this year.
I would like to share with you my sloe gin fizz recipe gerrilla style. In Spain it is not so common to have a slow gin but in all homes is very common to have patxaran, a similar liquor but with an anise base.
---
Guerrilla preparation: without a shaker and without syrup
In a glass or jar, add the juice of half a lemon and half a tablespoon of white sugar. Stir with a spoon until the sugar dissolves.
Add the same amount of gin and stir.
Add the same volume of gin plus the lemon in patxarán. Stir or recap the jar and shake.
Cover the glass or jar with large ice.
Complete with bubbles (selzter water or even tonic or sifón)
Flavor the edge of the glass with lemon peel and drop it inside.

I've got similar recipe with patxaran, some spoons of amatetto and jinger ale, but for today.
Cheers
The quality of your sloe gin is sooo important. The bright red stuff you’ll find at cheaper prices is horribly medicinal. Otherwise a fun cocktail and perfect to sip on with one of them Ander’s dad hats. Ha! Cheers, Anders! 😉🤙🏽🥃
Good call. Cheers!
Showing off the creative process is one of my favorite things about this. Thanks Anders!
It's 8:44 am, rainy, gray morning in Providence,.RI. and now I'm craving one of those.drinka!!!!
Love this topic, would be great for episodes on taking formulas (ex daisy, equal parts, etc.) And walking through making some unique drinks like I am sure you did as a bartender.
Sloe Gin Fizz was my mom's favorite drink. I learned how to mix it for her when she wanted one. I was about 15 years old then. She made one to her liking, and I tasted it to ensure I could match it. It must have been the "red medicine" stuff, as I never came around to liking it.
After trying your recipe, I can say my mom would have been overjoyed with how yours tastes!!
I made my own sloe gin, so I am super excited for this!
Love me a sloe gin! Live right next to Haymans gin distillery who make their own sloe. They recommend a fizz with equal Campari and sweet Vermouth but will have to try these alternatives now!
Sloe Gin! I tried and picked up a bottle of an artisanal Italian sloe gin when I was in Venice. My favorite cocktail I've tried with it is the San Francisco: it's equal parts sloe gin, sweet vermouth, and dry vermouth, with a dash of angostura and orange bitters and served with a Luxardo cherry. I think it's what I'll serve at my Christmas party this year.
The captioning catching "digestif" as "DJ Steve" made my day 🤣🤣 as well as the awesome recipes of course!
Nothing like starting my birthday off with one of your videos. I'm so happy. Now to try one of these (probably cognac because I love that stuff).
0:10 No!!! YOU shut up!!!
Yeah! Got him! ✊️
Thanks for the new ideas. These cocktails look really good.
Perfect episode! I make my own batch of sloe gin every year, but I rarely use it. Need more recipes for sloe gin!
old attorney in our chicago office told me years ago that he drank sloe gin with Mountain Dew. Swore by it. Still need to try it out and this is the reminder to do so!
Love a Fizz! I thought we were hitting fall finally, but its 90 here today...
Oof - no thanks. Stay cool Uncle Pete!
So I had a sloe gin fizz for the first time & I loved it! I tweaked it & added 1/2oz of Hendricks Flora Adora gin. If anyone else has Flora Adora & trying to figure out how to get rid of it, add some to your sloe gin fizz!
0:11 Not sure why I liked that so much… but I did
I live in Brighton, UK and the Blackthorns on the South Downs are covered in Sloes right now
Loved this episode! We are so going to try a few variations! We look forward to you every Friday and we have shared your content with everyone we know. Go Cubs!
Love the fall, thanks for asking
I am from Romania and here sloes can be found everywhere. Long ago i was walking on the countryside with my mother and thought of mixing sloe berries with gin making one of the best beverages i've ever consumed and finding now it's so popular
Your UA-cam always makes me thirsty ; ) Plymouth Navy Strength is a favorite, and I've never had Sloe Gin before so looks like I'll be trying this one soon. Thanks!
Some great ideas here. I have some really good sloe-style fruity gins to try these with.
That was a masterful bottle slide
Ice quality test by the puppyyyy
I actually had a 50 ml of sloe gin that has just been sitting there because I had no clue how to drink it. So thanks! It really was a very bright cocktail to try, I might pick up a bigger bottle!
Thanks for doing riffs on Sloe Gin it’s been on my mind. A bottle of Fords is a available in my area. Thanks Anders and OZ
I grew up on Sloe Gin and being an Englishman its very common here. One thing I can thoroughly suggest is to try adding slow gin to mulled wine.
Choke cherries are so tart! We use them to make a wine here in New Mexico.
One of the most refreshing drinks of all time. So good.
Gonna have to try this one!
I think we have wild Blackthorn in our area of Western North Carolina. You’re welcome to come and visit if you bring some good Polish sausage. Your cocktail might just reconcile us to the fact that there is no good Chinese restaurants in our area. We miss you, Sun Wah! (If you haven’t tried Sun Wah, time for a Duck dinner!) Pisco is something to be treated with caution. I lived in Peru for a while, so I know whereof I speak!
First time I heard about sloe gin fizz I thought it was “slow gin fizz” and assumed it consisted of slowly drinking your gin fizz. And I thought to myself “what a terrible idea! I don’t want my bubbles all dying on me, gotta drink ‘em all!” Tru story 100%
This was a fun one! Definitely enjoy the "let's see where this goes" kind of vids where you experiment with variations (and always interested in the lovely lady's opinions fyi!) Definitely giving the cognac version a try as well.
Cicada lol. Sounds like home. Sorry it took me so long to finish this video. These all sound fun and good. Nice easy sipping. I do love cognac so i think that one might be my favorite rift.
Brilliant variation ❤
Hey Anders! Just managed to get myself some sloe gin and this was the first thing I tried. Excellent drink to go with the great video! Thanks for the recommendation!
This was the first drink I ever ordered in a bar (I was under aged at the time). We used to go to this one bar where they never id'd us. This was circa 1980. The bartender probably thought, what's the harm, there's not much alcohol in them.
The MOST Dad energy with that opening!
Blackthorn is a common hedging plant in Lancashire - good for stock control as it's dense and thorny. I make new sloe gin each year and then leave it a few years to mature. So simple and so tasty, I can't wait to try these cocktails.
First time I ever heard of a sloe gin fizz was on an episode of The Golden Girls where Blanche made one for a doctor Dorothy was dating. He ended up flirting with Blanche and being a creep while she was making the drink. Never tried one but I’ll be making one now that I know what’s in it!
That's great. Wish I could've grabbed a clip
Sloe gin fizz was my cocktail of choice when I was in college some 40 odd(cough, cough) years ago. I'll have to try them again!🎉😊
You owe it to your younger self. Cheers
Wow, I was going to post something (cough,cough) similar.
It was my first taste of booze in HS except it was slo gin and sprite! I don’t think I’ve had it since and that was 1977 or 8?
Alright..now I need to get a bottle of Sloe Gin... Thanks Anders. ;)
Was gifted a bottle of home made sloe gin as a wedding present this year, very excited to try it in these!
Great show thank you! 👍
My Grandma Simons made the best chokecherry jelly.
i really like adding a bit of sloe gin in my daiquiris. i just recommend using a darker rum. Also same thing but with a bit of elderflower is my Girlfriend and my brother's favorite!
So looking forward to fall. It has been very hot in Kansas.
Just watched gin video and was going to comment ideas of where to use Navy Strength Gin. Got an answer!
Hey Anders! Could you maybe do a video on the history and tasting of different varieties of wines? Namely Sake?
Anders has got me on a Gin kick recently! Love these episodes.
While Plymouth is the premier sloe gin of record, it is a bit pricey and somewhat overkill for a mixed cocktail. If you are looking for a more affordable but authentic sloe, my wife and I recommend Hofland. Just of few bucks more than the "red medicine" brands but so much better and is a good choice for mixing. We celebrate Sundown Chill daily with a Bourbon Black Hawk made with Hofland sloe gin and Jeffers Creek bourbon. While many Black Hawk recipes call for just the sloe and bourbon, we like to give it a little edge with a bit of lemon juice and smidge of sugar to balance it out. Soooo tasty.
1. Don’t be hasty
2. Take your time
3. Mix carefully
4. Cool it down
5. Down it slowly
Stawppp itttt..... I would like them all.
Very pretty! Stoked for the cognac version!
Ooohhh! These are yum! I actually used my homemade (your recipe) grenadine and bumped it up to 3/4 ounce for the Campari fizz…LOVE! Also used the grenadine for the others and it was delightful. This is a very cool format for making/adapting other liquors to typically low abv cocktails. Um…good format all around for tasty cocktails! Thank you 🍂🍸🍁🎃
Choke cherry jelly/jam is the best!
I have a riff on an espresso martini that I do where I replace the vodka with gin and instead of using the gin as the base, I use it as a modifier. I only use a half to 3/4 of an ounce and then I try to find a unique coffee liqueur that plays well with it.
Got myself a hoodie and I'm definitely ready for fall. Bought myself my first bottle of Plymouth gin today as I've never had it and have been curious since watching your channel. Always been a fan of Uncle Val's. Can't wait to try it and this recipe!
I have a bottle of Hayman's sloe gin knocking around in the cabinet, I think I'll make a couple of these tonight. Thanks, Anders!
After finishing this video I have officially watched, and liked, every video on this channel. It has truly been an enlightening experience and has helped me become a better home bartender.
I really like the small clear ice cubes you use for drinks in Collins glasses. Do you use a specialty ice maker?
Some great sounding variations. I will plan to try them. Thanks for some great videos!!
Can you possibly work out variations of some cocktails for those with nut allergies, stone fruit allergies, etc.?
Wooo the one with Cognac sounds delicious. I mean they all do but that one especially. Great video
Perfect for fall. Cheers Chris
I love making Ramos Gin Fizz, so these variations with Sloe Gin seem like a lot of fun. Maybe a Sloe Campari Ramos Fizz?
A fantastic presentation Anders….I like the different varieties you prepared…You are spot on with a fall drink! CHEERS! and enjoy the beautiful weather!🍷🍷😁😁
sloe gin sounds like a great addition to a a french 75, both as a split base with cognac/gin or a replacement if you want something a little less dangerous
I hate fall because it’s nearing the end of golf season. Great video! I love the experimentation. Makes me want to try different things myself.
I was actually planning on having a sloe gin fizz a little later. I'm anxious to try the Pisco and Campari variations! I usually make mine with the 1/2oz gin already.
Without the title, I was worried Anders was going for a full matrix with egg whites and champagne. Now I'm going to have to experiment with my drinkmate and balancing other additions. Maybe Honey Liquor or blending with Pimms.
We don't really get fall where I live, but excited to pretend there's a fall by making some of these drinks.
Still the best
I have been curious about sloe gin for a while. You have inspired me to go looking for it since I really want to try a couple of your options.👍
Nice glassware
Never tried the sloe gin (liqueur), so this seems as a perfect occasion to try it. This, as well as the Slow Negroni recipe I was planning to try during the Negroni week that just started. Cheers!
Thanks Anders a very interesting way to use Sloe Gin
I just made one of these last weekend (because I was inspired by the gin video)!
My great aunt would always send us choke cherry jelly and syrups for Christmas. They were so good!
Love choke cherry jelly. Haven't had it in years - need a great aunt
I will have to try this with Aperol as I don't own Campari :)
Sloe Gin!! And feisty
It's 130 degrees in St Pete year 'round.
Made the gin variant and may have doubled it as I somehow have 5 bottles of sloe gin, kept thinking i was out and buying another bottle. Used the plymoth and a local distilleries slow gin, spirit works barrel reserve sloe gin.(which is fantastic like everything of their i have tried) l really dig the addition of the normal gin. It feels a bit lighter. I'm going to have to try the other variants in the coming days.
Changed life from boi hood to manhood -in “to the Game” to “To the bar cheers 🍻 “
We are currently serving af Sloe Gin Fizz, with Creme de Cassis, suuuper fruitty and well served for low abv fall cocktail 🥳
those collins glasses are awesome. Where'd you get them if you don't mind?
Hands down the best sloe gin on the market is Hepple Sloe & Hawthorn gin. It’s not overly sweet and it’s just the perfect balance!
Sloe Gin fizz with Port is fantastic for fall! It’s just 👌
Anders, been following you for years. Great channel. Love it. One thing I just wonder - tell us about your nordic inheritance. How Swedish are you?
My experience with sloe gin when I was younger was mixing up big batches of sloe comfortable screws, at parties. I've been thinking I need to get myself a bottle of sloe gin.
Could you maybe do a bourbon explainer? Really enjoy your other explainers, and it would be fun to get an American bartender's take on a spirit that seems to have exploded madly in popularity and price pretty recently (maybe for some of the same reasons that you started Youtubing). Love the videos and the recipes!
Been thinking about it. Glad there's some interest! Cheers
Yeah, the dog finally gets an ice cube.
Experimentation! Anders at his best. I just might try experimenting with the wide array of contemporary gins. I tend to just use London Dry (or Plymouth) since 95% of the specs I make call for the classic gin styles. Where to start? Where to start?
