Combine sloe gin, sweet vermouth, and red wine in a mixing glass.
Add plenty of ice and stir for 20–25 seconds until well chilled and properly diluted.
Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
Serve without garnish.
Sloe gin's natural tartness and residual sweetness make it an ideal bridge between the botanical richness of sweet vermouth and the tannic depth of red wine - choose a fuller-bodied red like a Syrah or Grenache for the best balance.
