Limoncello Gin Fizz
This recipe is a great twist on the classic Gin Fizz. If you love the flavour of limoncello (and the holiday memories it brings) and zesty lime juice, (with gin, of course) - you’ll adore this sweet, herbaceous cocktail recipe. Light and tart, it’s the most beautiful gin o’clock tipple!

Blueberry Gin Mojito
A mojito is a well-loved classic - and this fruity upgrade is just bliss! It tastes as good as it looks: the crushed blueberries (you can use frozen or fresh) give a gorgeous indigo blush colour as well as a deep, fruity flavour. Yum! It’s just sweet enough, thanks to the berries and simple syrup and makes a great summer refresher with the lemon juice and mint. Chin chin!
Summer Garden Cup
Heat-beating, thirst-quenching, and a true crowd-pleaser, you can’t go wrong with a summer punch. If you love a glass of Pimm’s in the sunshine, this craft-gin-based summer cup cocktail is truly delicious. Featuring strawberry, cucumber, citrus, and English Breakfast tea tones, once you’ve made a jug - it certainly won’t be your last! We love how quick it takes to throw together, too. Just get your garden party playlist at the ready…
Peach Gin Iced Tea
This peach gin iced tea cocktail is perfect for those long evenings - it’s very easy-to-make and easy-to-drink. Featuring an American style gin with floral, citrus and spice notes, it’s a true winner. The combination of the nectar-like aromas of the Peach Gin Iced Tea syrup ties the gin and luscious lemonade so well together. It’s simply dreamy!
Summer Berry Highball
Meet the perfect heatwave companion to cool you down: this long, berry-tastic Summer Berry Highball will be a cocktail recipe you’ll revisit again and again. Make the most of in-season fresh raspberries and strawberries - they make the perfect pairing with the rich juniper of the gin. The floral notes in the elderflower syrup and apple juice make this tipple hard to beat!
Frozen Strawberry Gin Daiquiri
When the temperatures rise, it’s a no-brainer to make a tasty frozen cocktail treat. We’ve remixed the original Daquiri recipe to feature your favourite spirit - gin. And what’s not to love? It’s an ice-cold, strawberry filled, gin-tastic drink - essentially revisiting your childhood with a sort of a posh, boozy, fruity slushie! Count us firmly in.
Gin-a-colada
A previous Craft Gin Club cocktail of the month - and a very popular one at that - let us introduce you to the incredible coconutty Gin-a-colada. The beautiful Indian citrus and fragrant spice of the gin works wonderfully with the bright, fruity punch of pineapple juice. The cocktail syrup adds a sweet and creamy tropical touch - it’s a firm favourite for a reason. Enjoy!
And a bonus gin summer spritz cocktail…
Love an Aperol? Or any sort of spritz in the summer? Us, too! Get to know this refreshing Gin O’Clock Spritz: it’s a beautiful, balanced, rhubarb and orange gin liqueur that pairs perfectly with prosecco and soda water. It’s equal parts bitter, sweet-yet-tart, and slightly spicy. Trust us when we say this will upgrade your next aperitivo moment sharpish…
