From the Bartender
Sloe gin varies widely in sweetness and intensity by brand - Plymouth Sloe Gin offers a drier, more authentic blackthorn berry character that pairs beautifully with a lighter sweet vermouth like Dolin Rouge. If your sloe gin is particularly sweet, consider a split of sweet and dry vermouth to add balance.
