  • Coconut, Lime, and Gin Cocktail

    Coconut, Lime, and Gin Cocktail FI

    This coconut, lime, and gin cocktail has to be one of the simplest and tastiest recipes out there. The original formulation is said to be from Ernest Hemingway himself, who loved gin, the islands, and the cocktails inspired by the islands. You may have even heard a variation of this recipe called the Green Isaacs Special, named after some islands. This is also a drink you can color and spice…

  • Seventh Heaven

    Seventh Heaven Gin and Luxardo Cocktail FI

    You would think that a cocktail named Seventh Heaven had too many ingredients to mention, but it’s really simple! Gin, grapefruit juice, and Luxardo liqueur make up this happy hour libation. It couldn’t be easier! This gin drink is definitely an oldie and goodie. Harry Craddock describes it in his book The Savoy Cocktail Book. I can’t recommend this book enough – it’s like time travel. Through delicious, tasty history.…

  • Adult Cherry Limeade, Made 2 ways!

    Adult Cherry Limeade with Sparkling Water FI

    Nostalgia is a powerful feeling, and the Adult Cherry Limeade brings it all back for me. That not too sweet, not too tart summer refresher. I can even taste the candy-like maraschino cherry dropped into the drink in a quasi garnish for a syrup drink in a styrofoam cup. Not today, this alcoholic version packs fresh fruit with gin and optional bubbles. That would be the second way to enjoy…

  • Sauvignon Gin Cocktail

    Sauvignon Gin Cocktail with Mint and Lemon FI

    If there’s ever a time you can’t decide betweeen a cocktail and a glass of wine, make a Sauvignon Gin cocktail. Best of both worlds. The gin in this drink amps up the punch, and there’s plenty of wine flavors left to enjoy. And it’s really easy to make! You could use any white wine for this drink, I just prefer the dry varieties. Any white would do, and know…

  • Gin is my Jam Cocktail

    Gin is my Jam FI

    Yes, the Gin is my Jam cocktail has actual jam in it. WHY NOT? It’s a lot easier than making a syrup, and a great way to use the last bits of a jar of raspberry jam. Although I suppose you could also use strawberry? This was the first time that we made this recipe, so we used a more neutral London Dry gin. HOWEVER, it’s also great to pair…

  • The Aperol 75

    Aperol 75 Gin Cocktail FI

    The Aperol is sort of like a French 75, and it’s sort of like an Aperol Spritz. The best of both worlds, I say! It also nixes any lemon juice that you would find in a traditional French 75, which really helps the Aperol take the lead in terms of flavor here. Aperol is the gentler, softer cousin to Campari. It’s also an Italian apéritif, like Campari, designed to get…

  • Stay at Home, Beach

    Stay at Home, Beach FI

    The Stay at Home, Beach is a gin cocktail creation inspired by the need to be outside, in the sand, with the ocean lulling you to sleep with the soft sound of waves. Only we are stuck inside. So bring beach to your home! Don’t worry about ingredients, you can have it all delivered. Oh, what a time to be alive… This easy drinking gin cocktail pairs tropical fruit juices…

  • The Passionfruit Martini

    Passionfruit Martini FI

    Never did I ever think a Passionfruit Martini would be good. Turns out, I was wrong. This perfect blend of passionfruit juice, gin, and lime flavors is quite good. Please do add an umbrella to this cocktail, just for fun. It deserves it. This gin cocktail is creamy and smooth, and not all all sweet. Passionfruit juice has such a unique and balanced taste, that you get to enjoy all…
