Let’s celebrate World Gin Day together!
The 2nd Saturday in June is – and the true gin lovers among you know what that means – it’s the world gin day. In our blog you hopefully found some inspirations which gins are on your table. But Gin is more than just a wonderful spirit, Gin is also the basis for wonderful Gin Cocktails.
The 10 Most Popular and Best Gin Cocktails
In preparation for World Gin Day, Max and I have therefore put together the best gin cocktail recipes for you. Of course, we tested the cocktails for you in advance. We have linked the exact recipes how the cocktails are made.
Gin Tonic
Admittedly, the #1 in our ranking is not a classic gin cocktail, but you just can’t celebrate World Gin Day without a classic gin tonic! At the perfect mixing ratio the spirits divide. For us the mixture of ¼ Gin and ¾ Tonic Water is optimal. First you put ice, then gin and only at the end the tonic into the glass – depending on the gin you can refine it with botanicals.

Gin Mule Gin Cocktail
Gin Mule is a very refreshing Gin Cocktail, because it should be very warm on Saturday so perfect. Use for this Gin, mint, lime juice, sugar syrup and Ginger Ale. With a classic London Dry Gin, the gin won’t be too sweet and pleasant to drink.

Gin Tonic Coffee
Anyone who consumes a little more alcohol than usual on a day like World Gin Day must eat something in between. The Gin Tonic Coffee is well suited to stimulate digestion and is therefore perfect after a meal. It is easy to make using gin, tonic water and cold brewed coffee. By the way, for very warm days you can freeze yourself for this Gin Cocktail coffee in ice cube form – so the drink does not dilute.

Cucumber Frog Gin Cocktail
Basil is a popular ingredient for gin and therefore also a component of many gin cocktails. Many gins are suitable for this cocktail, which also contains cucumbers, but especially Hendrick’s Gin, which carries even a cucumber aroma. Let’s get to the list of ingredients, and yes, at first glance it seems a bit strange: Gin, lime juice, cucumber, wasabi paste and basil syrup. Especially the wasabi unsettles many, but try it, it tastes good!
