Sloe and Unsteady

I found this recipe on kindredcocktails.com.

sloe gin, Fernet Branca, lime juice, honey syrup, bitters, lime wheel⁣

In looking for more drinks that use sloe gin I came across this one. This recipe is from Jessica Sanders, owner/operator of @drinkwellaustin. I haven’t been there to eat yet, but I see that they have moved their menu to delivery and pickup, and even found a fancy way to mix and bottle cocktails for take-out. (Take-out cocktails has only been legal here since COVID.) Sanders says that Sloe and Unsteady is one of the bestsellers on their winter menu. ⁣

The color of this drink DOES NOT JIVE with the taste! If I was name this drink just by looking at it, I would call it Murder in the Mudpit. If I was to taste this blindfolded and come up with a name, I’d name it Berrypicking in the Brambles. The taste is bright and fruity! It’s very good, I can easily understand how it is a bestseller. ⁣

Fernet Branca is new to my bar, and I’ve been kind of afraid to try it, because it has a strong medicinal smell and taste right out of the bottle. But just like anchovy paste, the magic happens when you mix it with other things, in small amounts.⁣
