Not everything is “gin and tonic,” there are different gin cocktail recipes you can make. Here are five recipes you should know.

Gin is a distilled alcoholic beverage that gets its predominant flavor from juniper berries. Gin is also often used as a base spirit. It is used to produce gin-based flavored liqueurs, such as sloe gin. This is traditionally done by adding fruit, flavoring and sugar… but today we’re going to talk about this spirit in mixology instead through multiple gin cocktail recipes.

Even though it’s a very versatile spirit, we’re talking about a summertime staple.

Types of gin:

London Dry
Dry Gin
Distilled gin
Sloe Gin
Plymouth Gin
Navy Strength Gin
