Quatre mois sont nécessaires pour fabriquer ce gin dont le goût et la couleur sont entièrement naturels. Les prunelles sont doucement laissées à infuser dans Plymouth Gin puis sont ajoutés de l'eau et du sucre, ce qui confère à Plymouth Sloe Gin son équilibre si particulier.
Selon la tradition, les prunelles doivent être piquées avant la macération pour libérer l'intensité des arômes ... non pas à l'aide d'une fourche, mais avec une broche en argent !
La méthode établie consiste cependant à utiliser une épine du prunellier.
