Sloe & Sassy (Low Alc)

Sloe & Sassy (Low Alc): Bold Flavour, Light Finish

Don’t be fooled by its low alcohol content — the Sloe & Sassy packs serious flavour with a bright, botanical twist. This vibrant cocktail combines rich, fruity sloe gin with the sharp sparkle of Double Dutch Double Lemon, then finishes with a garnish that’s both fragrant and eye-catching. Whether you’re moderating your intake or just want a lighter option that still feels grown-up, the Sloe & Sassy is the perfect way to sip something special without going overboard.

At the heart of the Sloe & Sassy is a 25ml measure of sloe gin — deep, dark and full of berry warmth. It’s beautifully offset by the zing of Double Dutch Double Lemon, a mixer that’s citrus-forward and refreshingly tart, cutting through the sweetness and lifting the drink into spritz-like territory. The finishing touch? A maraschino cherry and a sprig of thyme or rosemary — bringing balance, aroma, and a little sass to every glass.

Why We Love It

This cocktail is all about delivering flavour without the fuss — or the heavy alcohol content. The Sloe & Sassy offers the complexity of a classic cocktail with the ease and lightness of a spritz. It’s ideal for slow sipping, mixing into a long lunch, or enjoying as a more mindful alternative during celebrations. Plus, it’s quick to make, incredibly pretty in the glass, and a real crowd-pleaser for every kind of drinker.

Perfect For…

Think garden parties, baby showers, daytime celebrations or any moment where a lighter serve just feels right. The Sloe & Sassy is bright and refreshing enough for summer occasions, but its rich berry base and herbal garnish also make it a great transitional drink into the cooler months. It’s low-alc done right — stylish, spirited and full of personality.

Double Dutch Mixer Match

Double Lemon is the key to this cocktail’s signature zing. With natural lemon juice and a twist of lime, this mixer adds tang and sparkle, balancing the sloe gin’s sweetness and keeping the drink ultra-refreshing. It’s a match made for easy elegance and bright, bold flavour.

Top Tips for Serving

• Use a tall glass filled with ice: The chill enhances both the flavour and the fizz.
• Stir gently: Preserve the bubbles while blending the gin and lemon evenly.
• Garnish like you mean it: A maraschino cherry gives a pop of colour, while thyme or rosemary adds herbal aroma and a sophisticated finish.

Whether you’re pacing yourself or just love a refreshingly bold, lower-alcohol serve, the Sloe & Sassy proves that you don’t need high ABV to make a high-impact cocktail. It’s lively, lovely, and leaves you feeling as fresh as it tastes.
