Origin

Sloe gin (a British sloe-berry liqueur, not true gin) fizzes date to the late 1800s British drinking tradition, following the generic Fizz template — no single credited inventor.

Flavour Profile

Good for someone who wants fruit sweetness rather than gin's botanicals. Not for someone who wants a dry, herbal gin drink.
