The Sloe Gin Fizz turns tart-sweet sloe gin into a refreshing highball with lemon and soda. Sloe gin’s berry character sits under bright citrus, while carbonation keeps the drink light. Served tall over ice, it is a classic warm-weather fizz with a distinctive red-pink color. Egg white is optional depending on whether you want a denser head.

Sloe Gin Fizz served in a Collins glass over ice, pink-red, topped with soda and lemon.

Bartender's Note

Sloe gin brands vary widely in sweetness; adjust syrup before adding soda. Keep the soda cold for better carbonation.
