Sloe gin is a liqueur made by infusing sloe berries into gin. It's widely available at liquor stores and has a dark red color with a tart, berry-forward flavor.
Fresh lemon juice is essential for balance and flavor. Bottled juice will result in a noticeably flat drink; lime juice is not a suitable substitute.
The drink relies on sloe gin's natural sweetness. Add more soda water to reduce sweetness, or a small splash of simple syrup if you prefer it sweeter.
Serve in a tall Collins glass (10-12 oz) filled with ice. A highball glass works as a secondary option.
Mix sloe gin and lemon juice in advance; add soda water and ice immediately before serving to maintain carbonation.
