A Garden-Grown Celebration in a Glass
Our Sloe Martini is built around what grows best in our garden, beginning with the star ingredient, our homemade sloe gin.
Each year we handpick the deep purple sloe berries from the blackthorn bushes that border our grounds, infusing them slowly to capture the rich, sharp fruit that defines this cocktail.
The blend of vermouths brings botanical depth, while a touch of Campari and cocoa bitters enhances the natural bittersweet character of the harvest.
The Sloe Martini is a true expression of the garden and the season, a drink rooted in place, crafted with care, and inspired by what thrives just outside our door.
