Can sloe Gin be also categorised as 'mother's ruin?

Close, but no cigar

Just finished bottling up and still have a litre of gin left. Might have to send the kids back for some more foraging

Crikely, not sloe in coming forward are they?

I know, it's some sort of Tourette's, I'm sure

Why does my sloe gin have cloudy sediment in it ?

Gluts of garden fruit have been used to make apple brandy, apple & blackberry gin, rhubarb vodka, loganberry whisky and crème de cassis. They all taste pretty good if you leave them long enough - in particular the loganberry whisky becomes port-like after a year or so in the bottle. Crème de cassis (sort of - it's blackcurrants, sugar and vodka) must be pressed rather than blended, or you end up with a bottle full of sludge.

Putting fruit anywhere near spirits should be bloody illegal.

Last year daughter made damson vodka & gin. As we preferred the vodka there are now 3 litres of damson vodka waiting for Christmas.

A man who ruins champagne should have his life ended for him.

A cocktail is about the best thing you can do with most NV champagne. So I'm told, anyway - I only drink the good stuff.
