Add a float of Galliano and you have a Sloe Comfortable Screw Up Against The Wall.
As a former bartender, I hate when people order these things. Real alcoholics drink their pleasure over the rocks, or neat with a water back. Dilettantes drink cocktails or liquor with juice. And frat boy/little sister has-beens/wanna bes/is nows drink all these flaky mixed drinks with long names and obscene contents. You want a Zombie? Give me a break! Last think I need is to scrape your alcohol-poisoned arse off the floor and take you into the ER. :rolleyes:
And, if you come into my bar, and order an “extra-dry vodka martini”, I’m gonna pour you a shot. It ain’t a frickin’ martini, damnit.
Well, given I have a definitive answer to Loretta Lynn’s pitcher, I would have to ask: Is it possible to order a sloe gin and tonic? Or, is sloe gin something typically found in the South?
I’ll be honest, when I first heard the song yesterday, I thought it was “slow” gin, kinda like they make “slow aged” scotch.
But, I stand corrected. On the front of gin and country music. . .

We sat there talkin’ by the lobster tank
I ordered her a sloe gin fizz.
And when them chicken-fried steaks arrived
She said “I like livin’ like this.”
So I made her the queen of my doublewide trailer
With the polyester curtains and the redwood deck.
Now she’s run off, and I got to trail 'er
Dang her black heart, and her pretty red neck.
