Sloe & Sassy

Sloe & Sassy: A Bold Berry Twist with Botanical Flair

Meet the Sloe & Sassy — a cocktail that’s fruity, fizzy, and unapologetically full of character. Featuring Hayman’s Sloe Gin, the zesty pop of Double Dutch Double Lemon, and an elegant garnish of maraschino cherry and thyme, this low-alcohol serve is as sophisticated as it is sippable. Whether you’re hosting a laid-back brunch or just want a refreshing alternative with flair, this cocktail delivers bold flavour with effortless style.

Sloe gin brings rich berry notes with a subtle almond sweetness, perfectly balanced by the citrus sharpness and sparkling lift of Double Dutch Double Lemon. The result? A drink that’s crisp and refreshing, yet layered and intriguing — just like the name suggests. Garnished with a glossy maraschino cherry and a sprig of thyme or rosemary, the Sloe & Sassy looks as good as it tastes.

Why We Love It

The Sloe & Sassy is proof that you don’t need loads of ingredients to make something memorable. With just a couple of key components, it brings together bold fruit, bright citrus, and fragrant herbs in perfect harmony. It’s ideal for those who want something refreshing and slightly sweet without losing that grown-up edge. Plus, it’s quick to make, easy to serve, and always turns heads with its vibrant colour and fresh garnish.

Perfect For…

This is the ultimate cocktail for daytime entertaining — think garden parties, baby showers, alfresco lunches, or even a stylish aperitif. Because it’s naturally low in alcohol, the Sloe & Sassy is also a smart choice for mindful drinking without compromising on taste or presentation. And when served in a wine or highball glass over ice, it’s an instant mood-lifter.

Double Dutch Mixer Match

Double Dutch Double Lemon is the ultimate complement to sloe gin. With its double dose of citrus from lemon and lime, this mixer sharpens the sweet richness of the sloe berries and adds a crisp, clean finish. It’s light, refreshing, and brings just the right level of sparkle to elevate the entire serve.

Top Tips for Serving

• Use a large glass with plenty of ice: This keeps the drink bright and chilled to perfection.
• Stir gently: You want to combine the flavours without losing that lovely effervescence.
• Garnish thoughtfully: A maraschino cherry adds a splash of colour, while thyme or rosemary gives the cocktail a subtle, fragrant lift.

Fresh, fruity and full of flair, the Sloe & Sassy is more than just a cocktail — it’s a statement. Bold in flavour but light on alcohol, it’s the perfect serve when you want something that stands out without going over the top. Sip, smile, and let the sass do the talking.
