| 0.4 | rye whiskey — rye whiskey | base |
| 0.2 | sloe gin — Gordon sloe gin | base |
| 0.4 | sweet vermouth — Bailor Vermouth | base |
| 0.5 glass | ice — cracked ice | other |
- Shake the sweet vermouth, rye whiskey, and sloe gin with cracked ice.
- Frappe and strain. Serve.
Ice: Cracked ice
- Nose
- Berry and rye come forward together.
- Palate
- This is a neat side branch because it brings sloe gin into the whiskey-vermouth field rather than keeping it isolated to gin-based drinks.
- Finish
- The finish is warming, lightly berry-toned, and vinous.
- Summary
- A sloe-gin-touched rye aromatic from the experimental fringe.
