A bottle of Prunelle de Troyes(Sloe Liqeur) at Le Celler St. Pierre, Wine Cellar & Champagne Shop, Troyes, La Champagne, France. Sloe liqueur is a 40% liqueur made from ground sloe stones (the fruit of the blackthorn), Prunelle de Troyes is still made using its original recipe in the same building, behind the Cellier Saint-Pierre opposite Troyes cathedral. The building was occupied by wine merchants in the 1800s and has been owned by the Formont family since 1933. Prunelle de Troyes has been distilled since 1840 and won a gold medal at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1900. To make it, the sloe stones are ground to release their almond flavour and macerated in alcohol before undergoing a double distillation. Try Prunelle chilled as a digestif, as a cocktail with champagne or on a sorbet or frozen nougat (“le trou Champenois”).
