Red Rum, our cocktail of the week with a twist, replaces a measure of sloe gin with a lightly raspberry-infused London dry gin.

A cocktail you can make at home with a few basic ingredients. Originally prepared with a scoop of Sloe Gin, we replace this ingredient with raspberry-infused gin.

If you wish, you can also replace it with a measure of blackberry liqueur or blackberry jam.
