Sloe Gin from Burlesque by Bellowhead
Sloe Gin
(Frozen Gin/The Vinegar Reel/The Sloe)
In the spirit of the East Anglian step dancing tradition, Frozen Gin was written to celebrate the time when John’s bottle of gin froze in the freezer. Given that ethanol, which makes up 35-40% of gin, only freezes at -112°C (170°F), and most freezers are set at about -18°C (-0.3999999999999986°F), this was a truly miraculous event.
However . . . water, which looks like gin, freezes at 0°C (32°F), and John was living in a shared house at the time.
The Vinegar Reel may have been written for similar reasons.
The Sloe is a traditional English country dance tune, named after the fruit of the Blackthorn (Prunus spinosa).
