Hmm, homemade sloe gin...with a bug!
I've picked some sloe berries over the weekend, washed, picked the best ones and now made sloe gin. I was so looking forward to pouring out the beautiful pink liquid in December and enjoying it.
However, while I was shaking the bottle today, I saw a sloe berry with a bug half-sticking out of it! Eww, usually I'm not very icky about bugs but this is a bit gross. Is it okay to drink this later? Shall I pretend that I didn't see this?

Just fish it out and forget about it. It's all part of the circle of life.

Drink enough of the gin and it'll kill off any potential nasties from the bug.

Just pass your liquid through a paper coffee filter and don't worry about it.
