Easy Sloe Gin Fizz

We love this pretty pink sloe gin fizz cocktail recipe. It’s super simple to make, fresh, light, and perfect for warmer weather. Sloe gin is a liqueur with an alcohol content typically ranging from 15% to 30% (proof ranging from 30 to 60). If your bottle is on the lower end, I highly recommend using a 50-50 blend of sloe gin to regular gin (1 ounce of each).
You Will Need
1 ounce (2 tablespoons) sloe gin
1 ounce (2 tablespoons) gin
1/2 ounce (1 tablespoon) fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon powdered sugar or simple syrup
3 ounces (6 tablespoons) club soda
Lemon slice for serving
Directions
Add sloe gin, regular gin, 1/2 ounce of lemon juice and sugar (or simple syrup) to a cocktail shaker filled half way with ice.
Shake vigorously until chilled. Taste then adjust with additional lemon or simple syrup/sugar (I usually add a bit more lemon). Shake again, and then strain cocktail into a glass filled with ice.
Top with club soda and garnish with lemon wedge.
Adam and Joanne's Tips
- Note on sloe gin: The recipe above assumes that you are using the less expensive 30 proof variety of sloe gin (15% alcohol content). If you are using the more expensive, higher proof option, do not add additional gin, and instead increase the amount of sloe gin from 1 ounce to 2 ounces.
