Sloe gin and sweet vermouth shaken with Angostura bitters — a forgotten classic that deserves revival. Sloe gin brings the deep, plummy sweetness of blackthorn berries, the vermouth adds herbal complexity, and the bitters tie it together. Think of it as a fruitier, more approachable cousin of the Manhattan.
