Gin is a really great alcoholic base for cocktails – it’s right up there with Vodka for me.
So it can come as no surprise to anyone that lots of delicious cocktails have been made using the spirit.
And Gin is so popular right now, with flavoured Gin’s sprouting up by a number of well-established brands.
What a time to be alive!
Anyhow, here’s our comprehensive list of Gin cocktails – let’s get mixing!
What is Gin?
In a nutshell, Gin is a distilled spirit that derives its flavour from Juniper Berries that became the nations favourite beverage way back in 1688.
It was brought over to Britain by European visitors, most notably the Dutch, as a medicinal drink, but the British adapted it be a bit more of …social drink.
Classic Britain.
Popular Gin Cocktails
The most iconic Gin cocktail of all time is the Gin and Tonic.
It doesn’t get much better than that, because it lends itself perfectly to any flavoured gin that becomes available.
Other classic gin cocktails include:
- Tom Collins, the John Collins offshoot! This mixes Gin, Lemon Juice, Sugar Syrup, Tonic Water, and Angostura Bitters.
- Negroni – a classic mix of Gin, Sweet Vermouth, and Campari.
- French 75 – a classy drink, that mixes Gin, Sparkling Wine, Lemon Juice, and Simple Syrup.
- Singapore Sling – this is a classic and boozy cocktail that contains ALL THE ALCOHOL. Including Gin.
- Fluffy Duck – a smooth cocktail that combines Gin, Advocaat, Triple Sec, Orange Juice, and Soda Water.
- Long Island Iced Tea – another cocktail that contains ALL THE ALCOHOL. It’s a classic cocktail that’ll mess you up good.
