The Bloody Pilgrim





Sloe Gin, a gin liqueur with a curious creation process. I've had it in mixed drinks but I'm on a mission to find either an artisanal maker or a Plymouth Gin "authentic" import. I'm going to need you for this years Thanksgiving Cocktail of choice: The Bloody Pilgrim. This is also called the "Gin and Cranberry" by the clearly uninspired bartenders of Plymouth Gin's posse.

Here is the recipe. Direct Link is here.
