Easy Gin Cocktails to Make at Home

Gin is the easiest spirit to build a drink around: it already carries botanicals, so a few fresh ingredients do the rest. Here are the gin cocktails we make most at the distillery, from two-ingredient classics to fruity long drinks. Each name links to the full recipe.

Classic gin cocktails

Which gin for which cocktail?

For a G&T or a martini, use Signature Gin: 16 botanicals, juniper first. For fruit-led drinks, start with a flavoured gin such as Berry Pink or Passionfruit. For anything stirred and spirit-forward, a barrel-aged gin holds up. If you would rather skip the shopping list, our cocktail kits put the bottles for one cocktail in 200ml sizes, and the rest of the range is in our gin collection.
