Homemade sloe gin

Best drunk at room temperature or cold?? I know it does'nt matter, when you've had copious amounts of other things before hand! Shocked

we drink it at room temp. we made a batch 2 years ago, after a year had a taste and I didn't like it, tasted too much like cough mixture. had another taste a couple weeks ago (now 2 years old), fabulous, needless to say the bottle is now finished....I did have some help drinking it Very Happy

This is the second year that we have made it and it is yummy - it taste fruity rather than tasting of gin (which I don't like Very Happy ) - very moorish though Confused

I like it at room temperature but the room that it is stored in IS quite cold Smile
Jamanda
