The most classic use is the Sloe Gin Fizz, made with sloe gin, lemon juice, sugar, and soda water. Hayman's Sloe Gin also works well in a Sloe Negroni (substituting for Campari) or the traditional British 'wobble,' which combines sloe gin with dry gin and lemon.

Hayman's Sloe Gin is bottled at 26% ABV, which is typical for sloe gin liqueurs and significantly lower than standard London Dry Gin (usually 37.5% or above). This moderate proof makes it approachable for sipping neat over ice as well as for mixing.

How does Hayman's make their sloe gin — is it real gin steeped with fruit?
