Gordon's Sloe Gin & Tonic Cocktail
The Gordon’s Sloe Gin & Tonic cocktail elevates the classic significantly since the addition of sloe gin contributes rich, sweet and subtly sour berry overtones, creating a fruity complexity that sets it apart from its original version. Despite its enhanced flavour profile, it is a really simple drink to make, requiring no complicated processes or fancy equipment. This makes the beverage an excellent choice for beginners looking to expand beyond basic combinations.
