DIRECTIONS
NOTE: This is such a fun “throw back” cocktail. It had its moment in the sun back in the 80s but I haven’t seen it on a cocktail menu in years. So, I dug up the recipe and here it is in all its glory. It’s easy to make once you track down the sloe gin and whip up the simple syrup (which, by the way, can be used in all kinds of cocktails and will hold in the refrigerator indefinitely). If you don’t have a cocktail shaker you can always add all the ingredients to the glass and stir, add ice and then add the club soda but the shaking gives it a nice foamy top and looks great when you serve it. (Think summer by the pool!) I think everyone should own a cocktail shaker and if you are hosting happy hours, you are going to need one eventually. I got mine at Amazon.com. The price was good and my choice came with all the essentials a bartender needs.
