Hello and welcome :iconbiggrin: :wave:
I love the idea of spices in the sloe gin and I am very tempted to try when I get the 1st batch of sloes out of the freezer. :iconbiggrin:

Hi and welcome
Spicy sloe gin. Now that sounds good. I'd not thought of adding cloves but it sounds really nice. Guess a bit of nutmeg and cinnamon wouldn't go amiss either.

Ah, the Isle of Wight. Brings back fond memories of summer holidays with my gran in Shanklin. Couldn't wait to go to Blackgang Chine.
