I don’t drink alcohol and the wife only occasionally imbibes.
For some time now she’s been looking for a place that will make a sloe gin fizz for her. It seems this was a favorite drink of hers in her youth.
Her quest started last summer sometime as I recall. We were at a restaurant that served alcohol and she asked the bartender if he could make a sloe gin fizz for her. He said they didn’t have any sloe gin.
This scenario has repeated itself several more time since then. It happened again tonight.
We went to a new restaurant, which had a bar inside. Once again the wife asked for a sloe gin fizz and was denied the beverage of her choice. We wondered if this was possibly a North vs. South thing, but as we couldn’t find any place to make one. I’m thinking it may be more of a generational thing and maybe the newer generation of bartenders just may not know how to make one?
I asked my wife what made sloe gin different from regular gin. She said it was sweeter than regular gin. The idea immediately jumped to mind that if I made a gin that was spicier than normal gin maybe I could call it accelerated gin.
Good night, dear reader.
