Berry and almond infused gin, Recipes

By A Mystery Man Writer

Each November we keep a sacred weekend free to head up to Anglesey the knock-out beautiful Welsh island where John was brought up to pick as many sloes as we can get our hands on. We trawl the hedgerows and bracken lined beaches and fill our bags with kilos of them. Usually we split into pairs and make it a competition (I have a serious competitive streak), to see who’s bags will be the heaviest. There is usually an unofficial weigh in at the car by John’s Dad. We then head home to bottle up the gin for Christmas (look out for the recipe in a few months time). Sloe gin is always on rotation in our house and I love it but I’ve since discovered that is really easy to infuse gin, vodka or whisky with a load of different berries and fruits, which is good as the last jar of sloe gin usually makes it way out of the cupboard right around raspberry season. I take a jar of this with me to when I go for dinner with friends and it makes my beloved Gin and Tonic something that changes with the seasons. This is the base of my late summer, when the raspberry bushes are groaning, I head to the pick your own farm I visited as a kid and fill a couple of baskets to make this. The almonds take it to a new level and give it a buttery backnote, think amaretto or frangleico. Any berries work here, blackberries, tayberries, elderberries or even soft fruits like damsons and peaches. Though the nuts don’t all work as well, I’d stick to untoasted unsalted almonds or hazelnuts. If you like you could use unrefined sugar in place if the agave. This recipe is pretty freestyle so you can sweeten more or less according to how sweet your tooth is.
