Cocktail Description

The Sloe Southern Breeze offers a delightful contradiction: British sloe gin meets American whiskey liqueur in a refreshing cocktail that tastes like summer in the Deep South with a London twist.

This ruby-hued drink balances the tart berry notes of Hayman's Sloe Gin with the peachy warmth of Southern Comfort, while Rose's lime adds brightness and Angostura brings subtle spice depth. A splash of club soda lightens the mixture, creating a semi-sweet sipper with just enough complexity to keep you coming back. Perfect for late afternoon gatherings or as a pre-dinner drink when the weather turns warm, it's equally at home on a porch swing or at a garden party. Thankfully, this cocktail is surprisingly simple to make—just shake, strain, and top with soda. Its fruity character pairs wonderfully with barbecued meats, especially pork with fruit-based sauces, and it stands up nicely to spicy Southern appetizers like deviled eggs or pimento cheese.
