5 Gin Cocktails For Summer

Posted: 05/17/2012 12:33 pm

Warm weather is creeping in and summer is around the corner, so we think it's time to go ahead and declare the next few months the summer of gin. These days, there's a gin out there for everyone, and the options are better than ever. And while we'll forever be fans of a classic Martini or a fizzy G&T, this season we're planning to kick back with some more varied gin cocktails, including these five refreshers. And for more on the history of gin and its modern makeover, click here.

Those look very nice. I'd have to try them using vodka, however. Very bad experience with gin back in the day. Even a wiff of the cap sends me into a toilet-hugging PTSD episode.

Gin & cucumber ? Gross.
