## Cocktails

- [Blackthorn (English)](https://stirred.fyi/cocktails/blackthorn-english.md): London dry gin and sloe gin turn a split-vermouth Martini into a dark-fruited, bitters-seasoned counterpart to the Irish Blackthorn.
- [Sloe Gin Fizz](https://stirred.fyi/cocktails/sloe-gin-fizz.md): A luminous ruby fizz that sharpens sweet-tart British sloe gin with fresh lemon and cold soda, leaving its fruit, kernel, and juniper character clear.
- [Wibble](https://stirred.fyi/cocktails/wibble.md): Dry gin and sloe gin share the base of a brisk grapefruit sour, while tiny measures of blackberry liqueur and sugar deepen the hedgerow fruit without turning it jammy.
