Had some fantastic syrupy sloe gin last week courtesy of the lovely visitors from Duck Cottage. We were supposed to leave it till Christmas but we had friends here and my black martini glasses where begging to be used. So what the hell. I refilled the bottle with Bombay Saphire when it was done. Recycled the sloe's if you like - well it is the law to recycle everything here in NorCal. I'll let you know if that works.

What is a sloe? I know its a berry thing ( saw em in the gin) but is there another name for it? Do they grow on a sloe bush? Is there a California version I wonder? And what else do you use Sloe's for then? And is the plural of sloe, sloes?? Must google that.
