Bargnolino

{{short description|Italian variation of sloe gin}}

Bargnolino is an Italian variation of sloe gin, made by soaking sloe fruits from the blackthorn plant, Prunus spinosa, with sugar and spices in spirit alcohol. This results in a reddish, sweet liquor, around 40-45% alcohol by volume, although results vary by recipe used. Bargnolino is often chilled before serving.{{cite web|url=http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?hl=en&sl=it&u=http://www.igrass.it/ricette/liquori/bargnolino.htm&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dbargnolino%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26channel%3Ds%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-GB:official%26hs%3DCeN%26sa%3DG&rurl=translate.google.co.uk&usg=ALkJrhiBxgjSNPgaYHGHyhBEOoHaed9fWQ |title=Google Translate |publisher=Translate.googleusercontent.com |access-date=2011-09-16}}
