what types of fruit can i add to flavour vodka to make it like sloe vodka?

Answer 1

I get what you are saying...man everyone answering this is grouchy today. I would try mango and kiwi juice. Enjoy;)

Answer 2

Don't know about sloe vodka, but a great way of flavouring vodka is to fill a plastic bottle with the vodka, can be any cheap brand, put the peel from a lemon and lime into the bottle, and put into the freezer. After a few weeks, the vodka has thickened and becomes like a liqueur, very potent, and great for doing shots with before going out !!

Answer 3

Sloes may be related to plums, but they aren't the same thing. Plums are larger, softer, and you can eat them raw. Sloes are small, hard, and not at all pleasant to eat.

The recipes I've read call for the sloes to be "frosted", but given that I live very near the sea in the South of England, the first frost can come as late as mid-December! So I pick mine September time and then bung them in the freezer for a couple of days. Works a treat.

Sloe Gin Recipe

Pick your sloes from blackthorn hedges in October or November when they are most ripe - probably after the first frosts.
Take a litre bottle of gin, and drink half a litre

Cut or prick the sloes and drop into the half-empty bottle so that they displace the remaining gin to near the top.
Add one wine goblet of sugar (approx 150g).
All you have to do now is turn or agitate the bottle daily for a week, then weekly for a month or two ... by which time it will be ready to drink (but it is really best kept until the next winter).

Answer 5

You add sloe a relative of the plum.
(maybe plums would be an OK substitute then)

Ingredients

1lb sloes, trimmed and washed
2 pints of vodka
8oz sugar
1/8 teaspoon almond essence
Intro and Method

The Sloe, or Blackthorn, is classified as a wild ancestor of the plum. The bushes grow in hedgerows all over the country, bearing blue-black, marble-sized fruits.

The original recommendation was to pick your sloes in late October or November when they are at their ripest.

However, with the ever changing climate it seems that the fruit is to be found in abundant supply from late August.

Prick sloes all over using a large needle and place in a demijohn.
Pour over vodka, add sugar and almond essence.
Seal. Place in a cool dark cupboard and shake daily.
The sugar will dissolve and the liquid will eventually become dark in colour.
After two months, pour the mixture into bottles through a funnel lined with fine cheesecloth.
Seal and store in a cool place.
Ready in time for Christmas!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sloe
The Blackthorn is a large shrub or a small tree of the genus Prunus, botanically Prunus spinosa. Its fruit is called the sloe, or in the Scots language, slaes.
It bears a fruit called the sloe, which is similar to a small damson or plum, suitable for preserves, but too tart to eat (unless deeply frozen, as it is practiced in Eastern Europe); in rural England so-called sloe gin is made from them, though this is not a true gin but a liqueur. In Navarra, Spain, patxaran is a popular liqueur made with sloes. Sloes can also be made into jams and if preserved in vinegar are similar in taste to Japanese umeboshi.

Answer 6

Judiper berries....which you can buy in any supermarket now. Sugar and a licorice pod 'thingy' is quite nice as well. Star anise or aniseed things in general. Vodka's a really good liqueur base for all sorts of things.

Oh!!!! you're meant to let it soak in the bottle for a couple of months.....I may have misunderstood the question.

Answer 7

Add passion fruit juice in some places they say Guyaya fruit.

Also Mango nectar will do.

Answer 8

Sloe is another name for plum.

Answer 9

Sloes!!!!

Lay off the booze and think about what you asked.

Answer 10

Cranberry is most popular
